I cannot change owner and group of a directory or a file on a samba
server. I tried with a win client and smbclient.
Both the server and the smbclient are stock Ubuntu lucid amd64 servers
smbd -V
Version 3.4.7
Here are the relevant config:
#----------------------- smbconf
#------------------
[global]
server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
map to guest = Bad User
obey pam restrictions = Yes
pam password change = Yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n
*Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
unix password sync = Yes
syslog = 0
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
dns proxy = No
usershare allow guests = Yes
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
acl check permissions = No
force create mode = 0660
force directory mode = 0770
[common]
path = /srv/samba/common
read only = No
#----------------------- /etc/passwd
