I have a folder called Cad12. 

I originally created it su root.

so i log on as me, say kenny

then i su to root

i change the group ownership of that folder to Cad

then i go to a LM8.1 machine and  smbmount to Cad12.

no prob.

do a couple of cp's to cad12, check out everythings doing what i wanted.

no prob.

say 10 minutes goes by.

now i'm ready to cp the whole contents of a folder.

It says permission denied.

so i think ok, i'll smbumount the mounted folder and start again.

I get permission denied again, can't smbumount.

look on the LM9 machine, and bugger me the group has gone back to root.

So change it back to Cad

to back to LM8.1 and can now smbumount.

This has been going on for a few days on this LM9 machine.

Every time i change permissions, groups, owners it reverts back to the
original settings within say 10 minutes

Can anybody explain this.

It even does it in the middle of a directory copy to the smbmounted machine
and kills the copy.

I really don't understand why it changes everything back on its own. I DON'T
WANT IT TO.

Many thanks

Mr Smiley
