[linux-cifs-client] sym/hardlink error

[Scott Barker]

I get the following errors when trying to create sym/hardlinks using
CIFS 1.17 and linux kernel 2.6.6:

> ln test test1
ln: creating hard link `test1' to `test': Permission denied
> ln -s test test1
ln: creating symbolic link `test1' to `test': Permission denied

The kernel log shows (after echo 1 > /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI):

 ...
 fs/cifs/link.c: CIFS VFS: in cifs_symlink as Xid: 3007226 with uid: 580

 fs/cifs/link.c: CIFS VFS: leaving cifs_symlink (xid = 3007226) rc = -13
 ...

It looks like I might have my samba 3.0.4 server misconfigured somehow
if it's returning NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED (if that's what is happening).

Can anyone help?
