[K12OSN] More File Permission problems

[Petre Scheie]

I had this same problem a few years ago.  Using swat to configure samba 
(because it's easy that way), you can set the mask for a given share by 
clicking on the Advanced View and about halfway down you'll see a bunch 
of umask settings.  Likewise, there are similar settings under the 
Advanced View on the Global page if you want to change the umask 
system-wide.
