[linux-cifs-client] Should cifs respect umask setting on client? (repost)

Hi Eirik,

We have noticed the same problem on CentOS 4.2. 

The server is a RHEL3 U5 with samba-3.0.9-1.3E.3, the client is a CentOS
4.2 with Kernel 2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp.

The default cifs module (v1.20) honors umask as expected, but
latest cifs module (v1.39) compiled from sources available on
http://pserver.samba.org/samba/ftp/cifs-cvs/, doesn't honor umask setting
by default.

We have found that mounting cifs filesystem with the "noacl" option,
solves this issue. POSIX ACLs are enabled by default on cifs but are
disabled in our Samba server.


Regards,
             Juanjo
