[plug] permissions, samba, ACLs, etc?!

When saving to the directory from other computers on the network the smb.conf file works just fine.  However, the samba file server is also one of my main computers and I use it for web browsing and office tasks.  When I save a file to the shared directories it does not go through samba at all, but is directly saved.  smb.conf does not apply because of this.  :-(  I end up with other users having read and execute permissions to dorectories and files, because that's part of the umask for the users when they use this PC, and I want other users to have 0 permissions.

It works when going through samba, but not when creating the files and directories with Mozilla, such as when I create a directory with mozilla for a downloaded file. :-(
