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

[paraiko]

I'm experiencing similar problems and I definitely don't think it is
only a nautilus problem.

I'm sharing a folder from a windows98 vmware guest and am automounting the folder, using cifs, via fstab on the host.
mounting is fine, without any error messages, but I can only acces directories. trying to manipulate the files on the commanline gives a permission error.

the permissions look as below. (I have no idea what the capital S means)

drwxrwxrwx 0 root root     0 2008-02-07 14:04 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root  4096 2008-05-22 06:24 ..
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root     0 2008-05-22 07:41 old
-rwxrwSrwx 1 root root 31624 2008-05-23 00:00 q_108143.dat
-rwxrwSrwx 1 root root 48039 2008-05-24 00:00 q_108144.dat
......

after a "sudo chmod 777 *" permissions are set as below.
drwxrwxrwx 0 root root     0 2008-02-07 14:04 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root  4096 2008-05-22 06:24 ..
drwxrwxrwx 0 root root     0 2008-05-22 07:41 old
-rwxrwxrwx 0 root root 31624 2008-05-23 00:00 q_108143.dat
-rwxrwxrwx 0 root root 48039 2008-05-24 00:00 q_108144.dat
........

I can access the files files for a certain period, but at some point the
permissions revert back to the first situation.

I think it is actually on the point of the next file being written in
the folder on the guest when the permissions change, but I haven't had
the time to verify it yet.
