Samba Shares, Unix Permissions, and Win2k clients

["Doug MacFarlane" <madmac@covad.net>]

Team:

I need a pointer to a reference for how SAMBA handles permissions.

I have a straight-forward install where the SAMBA server is the PDC, all
users have Unix accounts, and the SAMBA shares are setup to use the Unix
permissions.

But in some cases, writing to a file sets permissions a 644 and in others,
755.

I haven't been able to find anything in the docs listed on the samba.org
site.  

I heard that the O-Reilly SAMBA book was available in it's entirety on-line?
 Is this true?  If so, where?

TIA
