Dariush, could you test the following suggested fix to the permission problem you reported.
The following seems to suggest that you actually went on a feature rather than a bug.... ----- Forwarded message from Torsten Dargers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- Subject: Bug#307626: Reply-To: Torsten Dargers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 15 Nov 2005 16:49:16 +0100 (CET) From: Torsten Dargers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For me the following entry in smb.conf fixed it: unix extensions = no When a *nix machine mounts a remote samba share a CIF unix extension maps the remote share's file permissions to the local mount. This overrides and uid or gid settings in the mount command. To disable the unix extension to CIFs add 'unix extensions = no' to your smb.conf on the server and restart samba. You should now be able to mount the share and specify the local uid/gid ownership in the mount command normally: mount -t smbfs //fileserver/share /mnt/point -o credentials=credentials.file,uid=localuid,gid=localgid Regards, Torsten P.S: Thanks to Ben for this help! ----- End forwarded message ----- -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
