Hi all, I'm using samba 2.2.3a to access from several WinNT4.0SP6 client to a red hat linux server. The server has kernel 2.4.14 (stock, from kernel.org) and is exporting files from two different filesystems, namely ext2 and reiserfs. While I've got no issue with ext2, which is used to store users' home (private) directory; with reiserfs I've got some quirk behaviour. In particular, I can, from a WinNT client, remove the read-only attribute from a file that I own (which mean, in UNIX semanthics, add write permission) but I cannot add it (that is, I can't remove write permission from the unix file). If I try to do the same thing on a ext2 exported filesystem, I've got no trouble in setting and/or resetting the read-only bit. Here go some more information: The samba source and the kernel were compiled with gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release) And here is the smb.conf file: [global] workgroup = Task_84 server string = Server FS5 printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes printing = lprng guest account = nobody map to guest = never log file = /var/log/samba/samba.log max log size = 0 security = user encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /usr/local/samba/lib/smbpasswd socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 dns proxy = no disable spoolss = no use client driver = yes dos filemode = yes #============================ Share Definitions =============================[homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes hide dot files = yes [printers] comment = All Printers directory = /var/spool/samba browseable = no public = yes printable = yes create mode = 0700 read only = yes guest ok = yes [lav] comment = Lavori progrettazione path = /home/prg/lavori public = no writable = yes printable = no valid users = @analogico @lamiera @col_ana @col_lam force create mode = 660 force directory mode = 770 The [lav] resource is the one experiencing problem.
