I?ve been writing some code that uses libsmbclient to talk to SMB servers and I?m a little bit confused why ?smbc_stat()? sets the st_uid & st_gid to the uid & gid of the process calling it, instead of trying to map the real owner & group of the path or setting it to -1:-1 if it can?t do that... But there is probably some good reason for this? Ie, if I call something like this: >

That's really old code that was designed to talk to SMB1 servers that might predate real identity. This is a thornier problem than it looks. smbc_stat() does one network call to get the file info. For SMB2+ in order to convert the owner information (which is in SID form) to a uid/gid that has any meaning to the local filesystem you have to do extra network calls/mapping, as you describe below. > Ie, if I call...

Hi, In the past months, several options have been presented for making byval (and similar attributes, such as inalloca or sret) work with opaque pointers. The main two I've seen were byval(T) and byval(N) where N is the size of T. They both have their upsides and downsides, for example: byval(T) would be a type-parametric attribute, which, AFAIK, does not already exist and may complicate
