don't fully sure what exactly I should test.
However, I did the following:
On Linux, I created some special files with the attached
perl script. These files I put into a samba share with
"map system = yes".
This share I conected to a Win 2000 client and did in
Interix:
bash-2.05b$ ls -ln
total 1
drw-rwxrw- 1 3002 3003 0 Jun 3 02:30 testblock
drw-rwxrw- 1 3002 3003 0 Jun 3 02:30 testchar
drw-rwxrw- 1 3002 3003 0 Jun 3 02:30 testfifo
drw-rwxrw- 1 3002 3003 30 Jun 3 02:30 testlink
same dir with attrib:
G:\>attrib
S G:\testblock
S G:\testchar
S G:\testfifo
S G:\testlink
This doesn't work correctly, but it works a bit, as testblock
and testchar aren't 0 bytes in reality, and are no dirs. But this seems
to be a samba problem. So I copied these files with the windows
explorer to a W2K3 share and did again, et voila:
brwx------+ 1 1616 49089 44, 45 Jun 3 02:25 testblock
crwx------+ 1 1616 49089 42, 43 Jun 3 02:25 testchar
prwx------+ 1 1616 49089 0 Jun 3 02:25 testfifo
lrwx------+ 1 1616 49089 11 Jun 3 02:25 testlink -> hello_world
attrib shows
V:\>attrib
S V:\testblock
S V:\testchar
S V:\testfifo
S V:\testlink
and there is no difference for Interix when attrib shows:
V:\>attrib
A S V:\testblock
A S V:\testchar
A S V:\testfifo
A S V:\testlink
Then I copied these files from a Win98 box to its local disk (VFAT),
shared it, and accessed that share from the W2K box (the only one I
currently have Interix available, but I can install it elsewhere if
it's necessary):
I:\>attrib
A S I:\testblock
A S I:\testchar
A S I:\testfifo
A S I:\testlink
bash-2.05b$ ls -ln
total 1
brwxrwxrwx 1 -1 -2 44, 45 Jun 3 02:25 testblock
crwxrwxrwx 1 -1 -2 42, 43 Jun 3 02:25 testchar
prwxrwxrwx 1 -1 -2 0 Jun 3 02:25 testfifo
lrwxrwxrwx 1 -1 -2 11 Jun 3 02:25 testlink -> hello_world
I'll further test in the next days,
why it don't work on the samba share.
