Hi, I am not sure I should be posting this to this list, so if it shouldn't have, please let me know where I should be posting it. Here is my configuration: - samba server is a Sun Ultra2 running Debian testing with kernel 2.4.21 and Samba 3.0.0 - samba client is a PC running Debian unstable with kernel 2.4.22 upgraded to 2.6.1 and SMB client 3.0.1 - Several PC acting as clients On the server, the directory I share belong to uid 1000 and gid 1000, but on the client, they should belong to uid 500 and gid 500. In order to achieve that, I use the uid=500,gid=500 options in my /etc/fstab. Under kernel version 2.4.22. it works fine and all the files in the shares, on the client, belong to uid 500, and gid 500, but when I boot under 2.6.1, they belong to their original owner, i.e. uid 1000. I don't really understand what is happening as between the 2 cases, the only difference is the kernel and its associated modules. Has anybody heard of this and if yes, how can I fix this? Thank you very much in advance and if you think this should be posted on the lkml, please let me know. Thanks again, Bertrand Sirodot. ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
