Comment 9 for bug 268536

The only outstanding problem is the permissions show as -rwxrwSrwx when they should show as -r-xr-Sr-x or -r-xr-xr-x

Thierry Carrez :

cifs is what gave me all the other problems and I think smb is a wrapper for cfs now?

I don't know how to be more "precise" then what I already said: "cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.24-24-generic (buildd@rothera) (gcc version 4.2.4 (Ubuntu 4.2.4-1ubuntu4)) #1 SMP Wed Apr 15 15:54:25 UTC 2009" maybe you could tell me how or maybe you missed the first post?

Pedro Villavicencio : here is some DebuggingSamba info for you:

categorie: samba as a client.
Did this use to work properly with a previous release ?:yes.

>dpkg-query -W -f='${Package} ${Version} ${Source} ${Status}\n' | grep samba

How is the remote share accessed from the Ubuntu system?
mount -t smbfs -r -o username=user,password=pass //192.168.1.100/MrSan /media/san
