samba - May 2003 - Problem reading/writing permissions under Windows (V 2.2.8a)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hello,

as the subject says, I've problems reading the permissions of a file/folder
beeing located on my Samba server with the Windows-Explorer.
To solve the problem, I've read through log.smbd and found that introducion
error: "error packet at smbd/nttrans.c(86) cmd=160 (SMBnttrans)
NT_STATUS_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL" followed by various NT_STATUS errors. While
grepping the archive for that error, I found a message in wich the author wrote
this would happen frequently because Windows often tries to read/creat files
that do no really exist. That's fine with me, but actually there is a real
error causing the problem I describe: When I open the properties of any file or
folder and swith to the security task, Windows shows me the users owning it, but
not the permissions (exactly, it tells me that nobody of these has any
permission). When I try to set any, nothing happens (it returns to none) and I
find new NT_STATUS errors in the log.

Can someone help me to fix that issue? It would be great, because I want to use
roaming profiles. I think that "NT_STATUS_BUFFER" causes the problem.

Sincerely,
Eric Veith

maybe not. On what filesystem are you trying to set attributes ?

No.  This is usually seen when a fragmented RPC PDU needs to be continued
in an SMBread/write.

I'm just a little short on details?  What is the exact error?
Where are you storing profiles?  What are the permissions?  What 
client OS and SP?  etc....
