[Samba] chown failure on a samba share

[Shirish Pargaonkar]

Is this working as designed or a samba bug?

I am trying to chown ownership of a file in a samba share and it
results in an error.

cifstest6:~ # smbclient //cifstest8/smb8 -U root
Enter root's password:
Domain=[CIFSTEST8] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.4.0-GIT-e6a5f11-devel]
smb: \> chown 65534 65534 file2
NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED chown file \file2 uid=65534, gid=65534

The share is thus exported

[smb88]
        path =  /tmp/cifstest88
        browseable = Yes
        read only = No
        guest ok = Yes
        writable = yes
        printable = yes

ls -l /tmp/cifstest8/file2
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mar 10 10:47 /tmp/cifstest8/file2
