Hi,
During testing I discovered something interesting with different mount
methods. This is the environment:
PDC = RedHat rhel4, 2.6.9-34.0.2ELsmp kernel, samba version 3.0.10-1.4E.6
Client = SuSE sles9, 2.6.5-7244-smp kernel, samba version 3.0.20b-3.4-SUSE
I have a share (shareB) with attribute "readonly = yes" (smb.conf is
included below). Mounting the share as user1 and
opening a file in the share for writing and appending gives me the
following results:
Could not open for writing mounted with "mount -t cifs"
Could not open for writing mounted with "smbmount"
Could not open for appending mounted with "mount -t cifs"
Opened for appending mount with "smbmount" (unexpected result)
After changing the share attributes from "readonly = yes" to
"writelist user1" and restarting smbd, I tried again with these
results:
Could not open for writing mounted with "mount -t cifs"
(unexpected
result)
Opened for writing mounted with "smbmount"
Opened for appending mounted with "mount -t cifs"
Opened for appending mounted with "smbmount"
I tried this with open in perl and fopen in c with identical results. Is
this a (known) problem?
