[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#525321: samba: "force create mode" option no longer works

[me at nikosapi.org]

Package: samba
Version: 2:3.2.5-4lenny2
Severity: normal

After upgrading to lenny (from etch) it seems that the "force create mode"
option no longer works. However, if I downgrade samba to 3.0.24-6etch10 the
option works as it should. Here's an example:

nikosapi at kubuntubox:~$ touch testfile; chmod 600 testfile
nikosapi at kubuntubox:~$ mv testfile /mnt/smb/archives/

teh-server:~# ls -l /mnt/md1/archives/testfile 
-rw------- 1 samba samba 0 2009-04-23 11:23 /mnt/md1/archives/testfile

When using the older version of samba, the permissions of that file would
have been -rw-rw-r-- which is consistent with what I have in my config file.

The relevant bits from my /etc/samba/smb.conf:
[global]
        ----snip----
        force user = samba
        force group = samba

        directory mask = 0775
        create mask = 0664
        force create mode = 0664
        force directory mode = 0775

        browseable = yes
        guest ok = yes
