I have a linux box (FC5) with samba 3.0.23c and most things are running fine.
Today I'm setting up cygwin on a windows box so a user can ssh into the
box. I figure out how to have cygwin authenticate using the samba PDC. The
user gets the linux home directory that has been exported to windows H:\
across samba. Now the user is trying to ssh back to a different unix box and
ssh is complaining about file permissions. I track this back to samba in
that the permissions seem odd.
On linux I 'touch howard' and the file has permissions 0644, fine. On
cygin and windows this file also has 0644, fine. On cygwin/windows Ichmod
0600 $file' and 'ls -l $file' and the file still shows 0644 and no errors.
On linux if I 'chmod 0600 $file' and then 'ls -l $file' on windows the
file permissions still show 0644. No change, like the file permissions ar
cached somewhere.
Thoughts?
