If you run strace on chmod with smbntsec on, do you see error messages from inside the security.cc sources (get_nt_object_security, get_info_from_sd, etc)? If so, I'd be interested to see them, even if it's just out of curiosity. > So, can't chmod easily.

The umask is taken into account when faking file permissions on file systems not being capable of retrieving the data by using Windows' file security API. You will see the same on FAT, for instance. > > and a programmer is > > caring (or paid) enough to actually do it. > > I'd do it just so that I don't have to go to explorer all the time.
