I believe I'm getting the same bug. It only occurs when unix extensions
are enabled on the Samba server and client. Server is Debian Lenny.
client is Ubuntu Karmic. Some examples:
This works OK:
$ touch x
$ cp x /mnt/SOL/general/
This gives an error:
$ touch x
$ mv x /mnt/SOL/general/
mv: preserving permissions for `/mnt/SOL/general/x': Permission denied
And sure enough the move works but the permissions are different:
$ ls -l x
-rw-rw-r-- 1 andrew andrew 0 2010-01-30 00:17 x
$ ls -l /mnt/SOL/general/x
-rwx-w---- 1 andrew andrew 0 2010-01-30 00:17 /mnt/SOL/general/x*
However this works:
$ chmod 664 /mnt/SOL/general/x
$ ls -l /mnt/SOL/general/x
-rw-rw-r-- 1 andrew andrew 0 2010-01-30 00:17 /mnt/SOL/general/x
This also gives an error:
$ touch x
$ cp -p x /mnt/SOL/general/
cp: preserving permissions for `/mnt/SOL/general/x': Permission denied
Here's my server smb.conf (cleaned up with comments and printer definitions
removed)
[global]
workgroup = ajblan
server string = %h server
dns proxy = no
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
syslog = 0
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
security = user
encrypt passwords = true
passdb backend = tdbsam
obey pam restrictions = yes
unix password sync = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:*
%n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
pam password change = yes
load printers = yes
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
[general]
comment = General files
path = /media/data/general
valid users = @fullaccess
force group = fullaccess
create mask = 0770
directory mask = 0771
writable = yes
And here's my mount line from fstab on the client:
//SOL/general /mnt/SOL/general cifs
credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,uid=andrew,gid=andrew,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
0 0
(I'm aware that file_mode and dir_mode don't apply when unix extensions
are enabled but I have them there for when they are not.)
This bug is causing me a lot of hassle so if any help/workarounds can be
suggested I'd be grateful.
