[Samba] Incorrect permission of mount despite correct options
Hello, this is a problem I have worked on for a very long time. Here begins the story begins when the 2.6.0-testing series of Linux kernels were being released. I had a mount samba mount served by my mac running Mac OS X 10.3 (smbd currently at version 3.0.2) and the client was a x86 based Debian machine running unstable and a custom 2.4.x kernel (currently running 2.6.5 kernel and samba 3.0.2a Debian). While I was using the 2.4.x series kernels the mount worked as expected. No problems here. However back when the 2.6.0-testing (first encountered the problem in 2.6.0-testing4's initial release) series kernel were being released I could not get my mount to continue to work correctly. The problem was that it was/is being mounted under the following permissions: tstarr@host:~/mount$ ls -l total 0 drwxr-xr-x 1 501 dialout 0 Apr 7 20:39 Audio drwxrwxr-x 1 501 dialout 0 Apr 9 01:29 Desktop drwx------ 1 501 dialout 0 Apr 2 15:33 Documents drwxrwxrw- 1 501 dialout 0 Feb 19 10:38 Graphics drwxr-xr-x 1 501 dialout 0 Apr 8 12:30 Internet drwx------ 1 501 dialout 0 Apr 1 15:06 Library drwxr-xr-x 1 501 dialout 0 Sep 8 2003 Music drwxr-xr-x 1 501 dialout 0 Jan 29 19:02 Other Stuff drwxrwxrw- 1 501 dialout 0 Sep 25 2003 Pictures drwxr-xr-x 1 501 dialout 0 Mar 22 19:55 Productivity drwxr-xr-x 1 501 dialout 0 Apr 3 21:34 Utilities drwxr-xr-x 1 501 dialout 0 Apr 2 15:35 Video Now I have no user 501 on my system and no dialout group either. Odd. So I revert back to my 2.4 kernel. 2.6.0-testing9 comes out- same results so I continue to use the 2.4 series (all along this mount works under Windows 2k fine and continues to). Finally around kernel version 2.6.3 I take a big stab at the problem. I try mounting it with other systems and they all work. I have been trying to find a live linux distribution based on 2.6 to check if my install is just messed up but I haven't been able to. I have mounted it fine using a knoppix 3.3 live cd running a 2.4 kernel. This share also works fine while using the smbclient tool. I have had numerous conversations with people on IRC only for them to come up stumped. Here is a list of things I've tried: - Mounting with no uid or gid provided doesn't change things - Mounting with numeric uid and gid - Multiple mount points - Different shares on the Mac OS X server - Recompiled kernels and Debian supplied kernels I have not been able to try a few things that I want to, another list: - Using another 2.6 based linux machine - Different version of smbmount on current linux kernel and setup - Different smbd version of OS X machine Unfortunately I cannot do those so I am lost as to what is going on. If it was simply Debian unstable not "liking" the default OS X samba setup I would have imagined there would be more people having this problem. I had found ONE message detailing this problem exactly only the uid it was being mounted under was 504. The post had no follow up and I cannot find the link right now (sorry I did a google search but can't remember the phrase I used, I believe it's actually on the samba list). I am sure I have forgotten important configuration details on both sides, don't hesitate to ask!!! Also I haven't been able to recall EVERY single troubleshooting step I've taken but please feel free to suggest things. Past e-mailing this list I'm lost. Thanks for all of your time, I eagerly await your response. Thank you very much! Also this mount had no problems on a Sun SPARCstation 5 running 2.4 series Linux kernels running debian stable. Other Linux distributions (RedHat I've had access to and Gentoo mount it fine as well but I cannot find another 2.6 based system for the life of me!) Thanks again! -Tim
