Our users are getting confused with the 'list' permission and the Windows client. The Windows afs client -will- show 0k files if you have the list permission, but in the Windows Explorer "properties get/show change permissions" box thing, they see that it is set to read-only box is checked when in fact it is not read only, it is list only.
Yes, that is what it is supposed to do. Although I don't think the "read-only" box is actually checked. Its greyed out. It does the same thing on files on the C: drive.
In contrast, if they go through the afs->smb gateway, samba doesn't show the file because they don't have read permissions. (it ignores the list acl.) They either think, the smb-gateways do not work, or they lost their files so we end up with a phone call.
So the samba gateway is broken, not the AFS client?
Can we have the default be "list" doesn't show any files in the Explorer? Or at least not have the checkbox come back and say they have read-only permissions when in fact they don't. We can potentially make an override advance preference for advanced users. (I am sure there are good reasons to make list permissions list files, however, that is a more advanced topic then some of our users can handle.)
I consider the current functionality working as desgined and your suggested changes as broken.
Should I file this as a bug report? I am not sure if this is by design, or if it is a legitimate bug because it is setting the read-only flag for the file. https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
You should provide the AFS server and client versions though. I'm running OpenAFS_1.5.5711 on Windwos 2003 and have 1.4.2 and 1.4.6 servers.
