Is it possible to retrieve the real owner/group of a file? When I mount a win share the command "ls -l" shows me for example: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 9. Dez 13:53 dummy Actualy, root is not the owner nor the group of the file on the win machine. Maybe there is some automatical mapping between the SID (on the windows side) and the UID (on the Linux side)? My Problem is that I have to check (on the Linux machine) the permissions of a windows user whether he is allowed to access a specific file or not. Maybe somebody of you knows a solution for my little problem!? Thanks in advance ...
