hello,
it may sound strange but samba modifies permissions when reading them using
xp explorer.
redhat 7.3, samba 2.2.6-1 rpm (from samba site), windows xp (non-sp1)
client.
file aaa is owned by user john and group john. permissions are 0600.
open the explorer's properties dialog and look at the secutity settings.
the group john suddenly got the "w" rights. say ok and now your file got
the
permissions of 0620. strange! and now go into properties again and switch
off
the "w" rights for the group. save it. now you got 0600 again. now i
thought
i could start again the chain of doing this. but this is not true! if you
now open
the properties again, you got no "w" rights and the properties are left at
0600.
strange !!! any ideas? or even more: ideas what to change in the sources
to
get rid of this behaviour?
and another thing: if the permissions are set to 0664, the corresponding
check
boxes in the properties window are gayed. set full access, save and then
you
are able to change the formerly grayed check boxes again and modify the 0640
settings. what has happened to the permission stuff? is there a
configuration
fault?
thanks,
L*
