Explanation

force directory mode = 0555: This setting in Samba forces the permissions of any newly created directories to be 0555 regardless of what the client requests. Client Request: If a client creates a directory with permissions 0750, Samba will override this and set the directory's permissions to 0555. Permissions Breakdown: 0: No permissions for owner. 5: Read and execute permissions for the group. 5: Read and execute permissions for others. Enforcement: Samba applies this mode strictly to ensure consistency and security as defined by the administrator.
