Hello all,
I've been dealing with this problem for years now and I am a bit fed
up with it. Maybe some of you all can shed some light on the situation.
I am having problems with my samba server setting the
uid/gid/permissions incorrectly when a file is written to the server
filesystem over cifs. I currently use the account remotemounter for
mounting samba shares. Even with the 'setuids' options set, it still
defaults back to writing files as the remotemounter's default
user:group:umask settings. I know that samba will rollback to standard
UID/GID of the mounting username if CIFS Unix Extensions are
unavailable. I don't know why CIFS Unix Extensions wouldn't be
available. Anybody have any ideas?
