We are running Samba as a file server for a Windows 98/NT/2K and OS/2 network. Everything works except we are not able to change file attributes, such as read-only, on Samba managed files. We are running Samba 2.2.10 on SuSE 8.2 with all patches applied. We have one large partition using the Resier File System. Reecently I have corresponded with another system manage who ran into the same problem with Samba 3.0 running on Resier. Here is our current Samba configuration: ./configure \ --prefix=/usr/lib/samba/classic \ --bindir=/usr/lib/samba/classic \ --sbindir=/usr/lib/samba/classic \ --datadir=/usr/share \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --localstatedir=/var \ --libdir=/usr/lib/samba \ --mandir=/usr/share/man \ --with-fhs \ --with-privatedir=/etc/samba \ --with-lockdir=/var/lock/samba \ --with-configdir=/etc/samba \ --with-codepagedir=/usr/share/samba \ --with-logfilebase=/var/log/samba \ --enable-cups \ --with-ssl \ --with-automount \ --with-smbmount \ --with-acl-support Although this appears to be a bug, it is possible that I have missed something.
can you please check that against the most recent samba3 version? I see no problem there. samba2 is not being actively worked on any more and just security bugs or other very urgent bugs are being fixed in samba2. If you do so, please write more details about your setup like smb.conf etc.
no response from reporter. Was a 2.2.x bug report anyways.
