-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I'm having a problem copying (overwriting) a dot file to a samba share. When I create a dot file (e.g .project) on a local drive at the XP machine, I'm able to copy the file to the share ONLY if it does not exists there. If the file already exists, Samba refuses to overwrite the file. The reason of this behavior must have something to do with "hide dot files = yes" and also "map hidden = yes". Both parameter are enabled in my smb.conf. If I set one (or both) of these 2 parameters to no, overwriting of the dot file works. It also works, when I change the dos attribute of the dot file to hidden, before copying to the share. It must have something to do with the check of appropriate rights in the functions open_match_attributes and open_file_ntcreate in smbd/open.c. Thanks, Thomas My config: samba 3.0.20b win xp sp2 smb.conf [global] workgroup = EDVSZ netbios name = SMBSRV3 server string = test bind interfaces only = Yes security = DOMAIN password server = SMBSRV1 smb passwd file = /usr/samba/private/smbpasswd log level = 10 max log size = 100000 debug pid = Yes debug uid = Yes time server = Yes deadtime = 5 os level = 0 preferred master = No local master = No domain master = No oplock break wait time = 100 case sensitive = No dos filetime resolution = Yes create mask = 755 [homes] comment = Homedirectory invalid users = root read only = No map hidden = Yes browseable = No log.smbd with debug level 10 [... cut ...] [2005/11/14 13:08:21, 10, pid=25540, effective(2004, 1), real(0, 0)] lib/util.c:dump_data(2053) [000] 00 5C 00 2E 00 70 00 72 00 6F 00 6A 00 65 00 63 .\...p.r .o.j.e.c [010] 00 74 00 00 00 .t...
