Newly created files are ALWAYS executable by default -(cifs,NAS)?

I messed with file permissions on my NAS - My Book Live - which runs on Debian Lenny. Now, every file I make is set executable by default. This happens only on the machine the NAS is mounted to. When I ssh to the NAS, newly created files are created correct...

This is how i mount the NAS:

sudo mount -t cifs //***/***/ /media/MyBookLive -o username=***,password=***,uid=1000,nobrl,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode

This is the output ls -l MyBookLive:/# ls -l total 328

deckoff-ssh.txt was created in terminal with nano, deckoff.txt was created with a client machine(Ubuntu 12.04), right click -> new file..

grep -v "#" /etc/samba/smb.conf

This is the output. (100% percent sure, I never touched the samba.conf file??)

[global]
  workgroup = WORKGROUP
  realm = WORKGROUP
  netbios name = MyBookLive
  server string = My Book Live Network Storage

  include = /etc/samba/smb-global.conf
  include = /etc/samba/smb-global_veto.conf
  include = /etc/samba/overall_share

PS It seems that files created via ssh belong to root group, and created in client machine to share. Probably the settings for newly created files by members of share grop are to be executable? Files, which are marked as not executable in terminal, are treated as executable by the machine...

You are showing a list of directories. Directories need to be executable in order for a user to be able to cd into them. Are you sure there is a problem here? Please post an ls -l output that includes normal files. – terdon – 2013-01-24T17:40:40.277

ls output was edited. Compare deckoff.txt and deckoff-ssh.txt. – deckoff – 2013-01-24T17:49:07.050

OK, could you also post the output of grep -v "#" /etc/samba/smb.conf on the NAS? You are probably setting the permissions there. – terdon – 2013-01-24T18:02:04.150

When you say "you messed with the permissions" what file did you modify? fstab on the client? – terdon – 2013-01-24T18:08:33.577

No, I actually mount the drive via script /ect/network/if-up.d/MBL I messed with NAS itself, created a user and so On. I re-flashed the firmware of the NAS, which returned the NAS factory defaults, but still the problem persists. I have 3 PC which mount the NAS simultaneously.... I will umount all, restart and mount one by one and see what happens – deckoff – 2013-01-24T18:15:17.000

Umm... I still don't understand how you "played with the permissions". Creating a user on the NAS should not affect this. What happens if you login as that user using ssh and create a file? – terdon – 2013-01-24T18:20:21.087

deckoff-ssh.txt was done that way :) it is OK,(not executable,) as you can see :) – deckoff – 2013-01-24T18:34:09.173

Thank you for answering. The problem I was trying to solve quite different, I just thought that was the cause for it. I should have described the problem itslef. Thank you. – deckoff – 2013-09-06T06:22:54.367

1No prooblem. Post it up and we'll have a run at it too – PsychoData – 2013-09-06T20:44:48.430

I re-installed the machine :) – deckoff – 2013-09-08T18:53:05.597
