Hello all, We've been having problems with our virus scan (McAffe VirusScan) changing the permissions on files it scans over a samba mount. (It sets most of them to 666, basically it just unsets the x bit.) This is turning in to a real pain since a lot of our people have their unix homes as mounted drives. Has anyone seen or heard of this before? I searched for quite a while for a reason or solution but I wasn't exactly sure what I was looking for so it was a bit difficult. Thanks, Seth --- Seth Harbeck Space Systems / Loral 650-852-6649
Do you have a "force create mode" set to 0666 in your smb.conf? I had problems with Samba changing permissions on existing files when my Windows-based backup program tried to reset the archive attribute. // Fredrik> Hello all, > > We've been having problems with our virus scan (McAffe VirusScan) > changing the permissions on files it scans over a samba mount.
