[Nolug] The default to -rw-rw-r-- permissions debacle

  Thanks to all who have helped so far. I am still not out of the woods.

  The strangeness continues....

  I can now create/save a file from either the Linux box or a Windows box to
the Samba-Shared resource, and get the permissions to be -rw-rw-r--.
  Half of the battle is won. All users can play with all files in the
common (shared) directory and its subdirectories.

  The other half of the battle still looms.
  I can now created/save a file from a Windows box to the NFS shared
directory on the Linux box, and the permissions are -rwx-rw-r-- the owner is
listed as the Windows machine's user.
  UNFORTUNATELY, a file created/saved from the Linux box the NFS share
resides upon has permissions of -rw-r--r--. I want them to default to at
least -rw-rw-r-- .

  At the end of this communication are copies of the following files from my
Xandros (Debian) version of Linux: etc/group , etc/samba/smb.conf , &
etc/profile

  I have a samba share that resides on a WinXPpro box, FAT32 partition. I
did not put it on an NTFS partition because I have read in a couple of
places that Samba and NTFS do not play well together (yet).
  I have an NFS share that resides in /home/morgan/Public_Xan01

  Basically,
      I have set umask in etc/profile to 002
      I have set create mask and directory mask in etc/samba/smb.conf to
0775 (each)

   I tried setting umask in home/morgan/.bashrc to 002 (it was 022) but
it slowed my system terribly (clock lost four hours between 11pm last night
and 6am this morning!) and programs slow and jerky; AND it did not solve
the -rw-r--r-- situation upon file Create/Save.

   I do an orderly shutdown and restart computer after every change. I make
changes one at a time.

  Every user is a member of the group that has directory/file access to the
shares.
  Shared directory permissions are set to -rw-rw-rw-

  My testing procedure is as follows:
   After restarting the Linux box...
      On the Linux box I sign in as the normal user (not root)
      I then open a text editor, create a file, save the file to the Samba
share, then Save AS the same file to the NFS share, then close the text
editor.
      I then open Open Office Word Processor and repeat the above process of
file create/save using a slightly different filename, to each of the target
shares.
    On a Windows box I sign in as a normal user (not administrator)
    I then open a text editor (notepad) and create a file, save it to each
share, then exit program.
    I then repeat the process using MS Word.
   This means I have created a total of 8 files, using 4 different programs,
on 2 different machines.
   I then go back to the Linux box, open a file manager and look at the
permissions on the 4 files in each of the 2 shares.
