I have not been able to find this exact problem on the mailing list;
apologize if I missed it.
I have tried both samba versions 3.0.20 and 3.0.21pre1.
The file share in smb.conf has these entries:
path = /home/samba/myshare
guest ok = no
read only = no
force create mode = 0644
force directory mode = 0775
The directory "myshare" has the following permissions: nobody root
dwrxr-xr-x
A file called "myfile" on "myshare" has the following
permissions: nobody
root -rw-r--r--
A mount directory on a second machine has the following permissions:
nobody root drwxrwxrwx
The share is mounted on the mount directory on the second with a non-root
user:
smbmount //<fileserver ipaddr>/myshare -o username=<non root
user>,password=<non root user password>
The the following is attempted:
1. cd (as root) to the mount directory
2. edit "myfile" (this works)
3. mv "myfile" to /tmp (this fails, permission denied)
Is this expected behavior, and was it different in previous versions of
Samba?
