[Sheflug] Umask & KDE

I have a Samba server which I am trying to configure to give group read/write 
access to files from Windows clients. I guess I need to set up the relevant 
entries for file and directory masks in smb.conf on each of the shares.

I have also set up user private groups for the different users & used setguid 
on the directories. This seems to work OK for files created from a shell, 
where the default umask has been set to 002 (in /etc/profile.local). However, 
files created from Konqueror on the server don't seem to obey the umask 
settings - they get 644 against 664 so it looks like a umask of 022 is being 
used by KDE. I gather that KDE is supposed to get its setting from the 
profile & can't find any other place to change it.

Anyone any ideas?

(Have already looked at Craig's earlier thread on wierd permissions)
