If the servers where people are seeing this problem are all openwrt running Samba 2.0, then it appears this is a known incompatibility dating back to 2004. I could open a bug report upstream asking for Linux CIFS compatibility with Samba 2.0, but if it hasn't been fixed so far, it's unlikely that anyone will fix it now. Why is OpenWRT shipping with a version of Samba that was superseded 8 years ago? -- no way to read and write files on mounted samba share on hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210741 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 210741] Re: no way to read and write files on mounted samba share on hardy
Since I have not seen any new posts on this thread for some months, I would like to confirm the problems mentioned in the earlier bug reports: 1) After the upgrade to Ubuntu 8.04 I cannot access the files on a samba server any longer. When I try to mount the samba share by the following command line smbmount //SERVER/share /mnt/localmountpoint -o rw,username=my_username I get a permission denied error. I have been using this command for several years. I rechecked the permissions of /mnt/localmountpoint and they are ok. The server runs an older version of samba (2.x) with security = user and plaintext authentication. I cannot provide the exact configuration of this server because it is not administered by me. 2) All files on the server are still fully accessible when I use smbclient //SERVER/share. 3) When I tweak the SecurityFlags (as described in the readme file of the cifs kernel module) by echo 0x37 /proc/fs/cifs/SecurityFlags, I can mount the samba share by smbmount. After that I can see the files on the server, but I have no access to them (cannot read/write/create files, although the file permission listed by ls -al are ok). I have setup a minimal samba server on my box and found that the current cifs implementatation in the kernel has great difficulties when connecting to a samba server which requires plain text authentication (that is setting encrypt passwords = no in smb.conf). So far I have not been successful in mounting any share on this test server as long as it runs with the encrypt passwords = no-setting (I always got permission denied errors, tweaking the SecurityFlags had no effect). Everything worked fine when I turned on password encryption. When looking at the kernel source of the cifs module I could not find any code that would send passwords in plaintext to the samba server. There seems to be always some encryption taking place. The same issue is also discussed on http://www.nabble.com/No-connection-using-plain-text-password-td18611280.html where Bart Oldeman suggests a patch, which adds code for handling plain text authentication to the cifs module (http://lists.samba.org/archive/linux-cifs-client/2008-March/002815.html) Applying this patch and recompiling the cifs module resolved the problems (at least for me). I would be glad if the patch could be approved by the developers of cifs kernel module. If possible a corrected version of the kernel should distributed by Ubuntu soon. Not being able to mount samba shares seems to be an annoying problem for quite many users of Ubuntu 8.04. -- no way to read and write files on mounted samba share on hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210741 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

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 think I have almost found the answer. Look at this bug: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2512 I turned off Unix Extensions on the server side and lo and behold I could mount the share on the client using CIFS and the program worked! It looks like CIFS is not telling the how truth when you do an ls -l on a remote share. It may report the local UID/GID as given on the mount, but when it comes to permission checking... Unfortunately, turning off the Unix Extensions isn't an ideal answer as you lose things like symlinks. Making the UIDs and GIDs match over both client and server should allow Unix Extensions to be kept - but then you're back to the same UID management problems as for NFS. -- no way to read and write files on mounted samba share on hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210741 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 210741] Re: no way to read and write files on mounted samba share on hardy
Steve, To answer your questions about the bug I am seeing, I have compiled the following. Look below, there is a significant difference in the client side file permissions when cifs is used to mount the volume and when smbfs is used. This is fully repeatable and the listings below did not require system reboot, just different -t (cifs|smbfs) switches on the mount. 1. I first saw the problem after upgrading a single client to 8.04 (AMD 64 bit). The server was then Xubuntu 7.10 with standard up-to-date samba packages. This was then upgraded to 8.04 Xubuntu and the problem remained. 2. The definition of the share is: [TASData] comment = TasBooks Data Files path = /raiddisk/shared/tasbooks valid users = @accounts force group = accounts read only = No acl check permissions = No directory mask = 0775 force directory mode = 00 browseable = No 3.

The underlying problem is when the closed source TAS Books program tries to open its accounts database. It reports that the database is being used by a maintenance utility. However, you get exactly the same error message if the share is not mounted - so that is not really very useful. I have no problem opening any of these files in a text editor (under cifs), or in saving them, so this is not a simple permissions problem. While it is not really possible to know what the program is doing, I know that it will try and gain exclusive access to the files and my guess is that it is failing at this point. One thing is certain, now that I have compiled in the smbfs module from samba 3.0.28a, if I mount the share as smbfs, the program works, if I mount it as cifs, it doesn't. -- no way to read and write files on mounted samba share on hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210741 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 210741] Re: no way to read and write files on mounted samba share on hardy
I think I have almost found the answer. Look at this bug: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2512 I turned off Unix Extensions on the server side and lo and behold I could mount the share on the client using CIFS and the program worked! It looks like CIFS is not telling the how truth when you do an ls -l on a remote share. It may report the local UID/GID as given on the mount, but when it comes to permission checking... Unfortunately, turning off the Unix Extensions isn't an ideal answer as you lose things like symlinks. Making the UIDs and GIDs match over both client and server should allow Unix Extensions to be kept - but then you're back to the same UID management problems as for NFS. -- no way to read and write files on mounted samba share on hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210741 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 210741] Re: no way to read and write files on mounted samba share on hardy
tonyw, I'm glad to hear that you were able to get your application working! Based on your output, I'm not convinced that your problem is the same as https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2512. For one thing, you mention that you're able to access the files from a text editor, so there at least doesn't seem to be a lack of read permissions; and in my experience, when unix extensions are used, whatever file permissions are shown on the client side are the ones that are actually enforced - and in your case the client permissions look ok. One way to test whether permissions are the source of the problem, or whether it's some other aspect of Unix extensions causing the problem, would be to re-enable the Unix extensions on the server side and then use the 'noperm' option when mounting. If TAS Books works, then it's a permissions problem; if it doesn't work, then the problem lies with Unix extensions but not with the Unix permissions handling. Finally, since this problem only occurs with a closed source application, it would be helpful to have some sort of client trace here: either a kernel client trace like the one Jan generated using the /proc/fs/cifs/traceSMB and /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI variables, or the output of 'strace -efile' showing what sort of file access the application is doing. -- no way to read and write files on mounted samba share on hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210741 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

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

[Bug 210741] Re: no way to read and write files on mounted samba share on hardy
There certainly appears to be a problem with the Hardy CIFS/SMBFS implementation. For me it has broken a wine application that used smbfs/cifs to access a remote set of files. We use an old Windows based account packages (TAS Books). Works fine and runs under Linux/wine, so no real need to replace it. It uses a Btrieve database implemented as a set of files in the same directory. In our deployment, the database files are on a remote server with the directory mounted as a remote share.

[Bug 210741] Re: no way to read and write files on mounted samba share on hardy
I have exaxctly the same problems. Due to this, my Ubuntu computer has started to be a nuisance, especially because downgrading back to 7.* is impossible, and gvfs cannot be disabled without removing Nautilus and the Ubuntu desktop. What a pain is hardy ! My configuration: 1 Ubuntu hardy destop, and a file server (90 MHz Pentium, 40Mb RAM) running another distro, with an old kernel 2.2.16-22. Using samba, no guest accounts, plain passwords, different UIDs for the same users on both machines. I have performed the commands below 515 cd /proc/fs 517 smbmount //his01/jhh ~/t5 519 cd cifs 521 sudo sh -c 'echo 1 traceSMB ' 522 sudo sh -c 'echo 3 cifsFYI ' 523 cd .. 524 smbumount ~/t5 ... 532 smbmount //his01/jhh ~/t5 533 cat ~/t5/pldirs.txt cat: /home/jhh/t5/pldirs.txt: Permission denied 534 smbumount ~/t5 After the smbmount: the directory structure looks fine.

[Bug 210741] Re: no way to read and write files on mounted samba share on hardy
There certainly appears to be a problem with the Hardy CIFS/SMBFS implementation. For me it has broken a wine application that used smbfs/cifs to access a remote set of files. We use an old Windows based account packages (TAS Books). Works fine and runs under Linux/wine, so no real need to replace it. It uses a Btrieve database implemented as a set of files in the same directory. In our deployment, the database files are on a remote server with the directory mounted as a remote share. This allows access from several clients (but not simultaneous). The setup worked fine under ubuntu 7.10. Both server and clients were upgraded to Hardy last weekend and this broke the application. It claims that the remote files are being used by a Maintenance Utility- although other wine apps can open them for reading.

[Bug 210741] Re: no way to read and write files on mounted samba share on hardy
In addition to the previous post, I also see strange behavior while connecting via Nautilus: - directory displays OK. - at opening a text file I get a strange authentication required pop-up, for a user called guest (see attached) - then, everything seems to go fine after that. - then an endless loop due to a circular reference in the fileserver filesystem, eating away all resources. May be caused by tracker trying to index the newly mounted filesystem. ** Attachment added: Screenshot-Authentication Required.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14095306/Screenshot-Authentication%20Required.png -- no way to read and write files on mounted samba share on hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210741 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have the exact same problem. This is indeed a huge step back - I have all my music, movies and stuff on a file server. After upgrading everything is unusable. I can create new files and delete them, but I can't play existing mp3s. -- no way to read and write files on mounted samba share on hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210741 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
