[Bug 210741] Re: no way to read and write files on mounted samba share on hardy

[Steve Langasek]

There are several different sets of symptoms being described here, none of which are reproducible for me.
- the original bug report says that the file permissions on the local mount are correctly set, but the files are not readable or writable.  This sounds like a permissions problem on the remote server, possibly because of a credentials problem?
- TMwtP reports that he can create new files and delete files on a cifs mount point, but can't read existing files.  This is also very strange, and possibly points to a permissions issue either on the client, or on the server (again, the server permissions problem may point to an authentication problem).
- tonyw describes an application problem which may be a separate bug entirely.

For anyone seeing these problems with kernel CIFS mounts, can you please provide:
- version information about the server you're connecting to (if a Windows server, the version of the OS; if a Samba server, the version of Samba)
- for samba servers, the definition of the fileshare
- the exact commandline or fstab entry you're using when you experience the problem
- a full listing of server-side permissions on the shared directory, and the files contained within
- an ls -l of the client mount point, showing how the permissions appear on the client.

With this, it should be possible to track down these errors and find a
solution for inclusion in Ubuntu 8.04.
