Preserve Permissions when adding files to a Samba share

I asked this over at superuser already but didn't get much input on it.

I have a Mac (El Capitan 10.11.6) client that is connected to an Ubuntu server (18.04 LTS) running Samba, sharing a ZFS pool. Everything works great, except that whenever I add a file to the server, the permissions are changed.

For example, here's foo.txt on the mac:

$ ls -l foo.txt

-rw-r--r--  1 leetbacoon  staff  160 Feb 21 15:37 foo.txt

When it is clicked and dragged to the server, the server copy changes the attributes:

$ ls -l /Volumes/SMB Share/foo.txt

-rwx------  1 leetbacoon  staff  160 Feb 21 15:37 /Volumes/SMB Share/foo.txt*

Copying the file from the server back to my Mac retains those permissions:

$ ls -l ./Copied From Server/foo.txt

-rwx------  1 leetbacoon  staff  160 Feb 21 15:37 ./Copied From Server/foo.txt*

I want to have the file permissions retained when copying to the server, i.e.:

$ ls -l /Volumes/SMB Share/foo.txt

-rw-r--r--  1 leetbacoon  staff  160 Feb 21 15:37 /Volumes/SMB Share/foo.txt

All the ls -l commands were executed on the Mac client.

@Podesta tried that and the file it did it again, turned the file into -rwx------

even just to test, tried chmod 777 /Volumes/SMB Share/foo.txt and still only gave me -rwx------

@Podesta something else really strange is the fact that when i ssh into my server and do ls -l i see foo.txt's permissions are -rwxr--r--. whaaaa??? chmod 777 foo.txt on the server changes it on the server to -rwxrwxrwx, but on the Mac i still see the -rwx------ i'll try out your suggestions shortly

@Podesta i'm wondering if it is my smb.conf that's at fault, too. here's a copy of it in its entirety: pastebin.com/raw/sKzSmPx9

Thanks for the suggestion @Podesta, but neither work :-( i tried the first, then the second, then both, every time doing the same.

What happens when you insert the following two lines in the share definition in smb.conf:

ea support = yes

vfs objects = catia fruit streams_xattr

map archive = No

And restart smbd:

sudo service smbd restart

Did you disconnect from the samba server and reconnect after adding the two lines?

I added another line in my post that you need to add to the [SMB Share] share definition in smb.conf. Remember to restart smbd and disconnect and reconnect to the server in Finder.
