I'm reassigning this to the kernel maintainer. Once the kernel uses a proper __kernel_uid_t, we'll see if samba 2.2.7a needs patching. Oh by the point here was that you can't really change the __kernel_uid_t in middle of stable kernel series - see http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0209.0/0678.html. With this patch in samba you don't need to break kernel binary compatibility. This ancient bug got eventually fixed in RHEL, closing... |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20021216 Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.smbmount //some/share /mnt/ -o uid=100000 2. ls -ld /mnt Actual Results: Actual Results: The UID wraps around at 65535(and so does GID) so the mount point gets owned by wrong UID. Expected Results: UID shouldn't wrap around of course.. Additional info: The fix requires a patch to the kernel and also smbmnt: http://www.hojdpunkten.ac.se/054/samba/smbmount-2.2.5-misc-2.patch.gz Oh and this is present in all RH versions up to date, not just phoebe.
