Description Andreas Thienemann 2006-07-30 20:19:14 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #200486 +++
As the problem manifests itself with FC5 as well, this bug tracks FC5 progress.

Problem is the same as with FC4:

A sample share called fsroot is created, exporting the whole filesystem on the
samba server:

[fsroot]
   comment = FSroot
   path = /
   valid users = root
   public = no
   writable = yes
   printable = no

A file is created under /tmp:
[root@rtr ~]# echo foo > /tmp/bar

A client mounts that share: 

[root@bofh ~]# mount //rtr/fsroot /mnt/net
Password:
[root@bofh ~]# mount | grep cifs
//rtr/fsroot on /mnt/net type cifs (rw,mand)
[root@bofh ~]#

[root@bofh ~]# head /mnt/net/tmp/bar
head: error reading `/mnt/net/tmp/bar': Permission denied


Rolling back to 3.0.23-1.fc5, the head request succeeds:

[root@bofh ~]# head /mnt/net/tmp/bar
foo
[root@bofh ~]#

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but is there a time frame for
when patched binaries for this issue can be published to the repos? This problem
is a show stopper for me.
Comment 5 Mike 2006-08-09 08:04:29 UTC 
Upstream released updated version.

Comment 6 Christian Krause 2006-08-15 19:25:19 UTC 
I just want to confirm, that samba-3.0.23b solves the problem. I've recompiled
samba-3.0.23a-1.fc5.1.src.rpm with the new released 3.0.23b samba source
(Patch1: samba-3.0.23a-samr_alias.patch must not be applied, because it is
already fixed in 3.0.23b) and it worked without any problems.

I hope a new FC5 package is released soon, because it is a little bit annoying
that it is not possible to mount an smb/cifs share provided by FC5 using an FC5
(cifs only) as client. ;-)
Comment 7 Peter Bieringer 2006-08-26 19:10:51 UTC 
Are there any problem why there is still no package at least on updates-testing?

# yum list --enablerepo development --enablerepo updates-testing samba
Installed Packages
samba.i386                               3.0.23a-1.fc5.1        installed
Available Packages
samba.i386                               3.0.23b-2              development

Can't use the one from development without updating glibc, which I didn't want
at the moment.

BTW: the problem only happens on non-zero size files.

# touch /mnt/cifs/test.txt
# cat /mnt/cifs/test.txt
# echo "1" > /mnt/cifs/test.txt
# cat /mnt/cifs/test.txt
cat: /mnt/cifs/test.txt: Permission denied

Another bugfix update was reased by samba team:
http://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-3.0.23c.html

Maybe it's time to fix this problem?
Comment 9 Mike 2006-09-27 18:34:22 UTC 
fixed by: samba-3.0.23c-1.fc5
