Hi guys, i am having a very strange problem that is driving me crazy. I have a very simple samba setup I am using version 3.5.10-0.107.el5 # cat /etc/samba/smb.conf [global] realm = MYDOMAIN.BIZ security = ADS idmap uid = 16777216-33554431 idmap gid = 16777216-33554431 [test] path = /tmp/temp read only = No Inside /tmp/test i have the following tree: # ls -laR /tmp/temp/ /tmp/temp/: total 4 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 Oct 11 10:35 . drwxrwxrwt 5 root root 1024 Oct 11 10:42 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 myuser root 1024 Oct 11 10:42 someFolder /tmp/temp/someFolder: total 2 drwxr-xr-x 2 myuser root 1024 Oct 11 10:42 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 Oct 11 10:35 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 11 10:36 someFile I can connect from windows 7 to the share just fine using myuser. So now comes the question: Why myuser can rename someFile if its owned by root:root and permission is -rw-r--r-- ? (Though i can not change its contents). I think this is related to myuser being the owner of the folder itself, but i am not sure because of the behaviour in this other question: Why if i set permission to -rw-r-----, now myuser can not rename the file anymore ?
