RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.5 (Ootpa)
samba-4.14.5-7.el8_5.x86_64

Files have the hidden bit while they shouldn't

How reproducible

I have the *hide dot files =* *yes* enabled on the samba server

On another RHEL 8 server on the mounted samba I did some tests where I look at the results on a windows with the same share mounted

1. touch .file3 ( OK hidden DOS flag enabled )   
2. mv -v .file3 file3 ( OK hidden DOS flag disabled )
3. mv -v file3 .file3 ( OK hidden DOS flag enabled ) 
4. mv -v .file3 file3 ( FAIL hidden DOS flag enabled, should be disabled )

Another test

1. touch .file4.syncthing.tmp ( OK hidden DOS flag enabled )   
2. mv -v .file4.syncthing.tmp file4 ( OK hidden DOS flag disabled )
3. mv -v file4 .file4.syncthing.tmp ( OK hidden DOS flag enabled ) 
4. mv -v .file4.syncthing.tmp file4 ( FAIL hidden DOS flag enabled, should be disabled )


Notice how the action 2. and 4. are the same but are causing different outcomes.

I expect steps 4. to remove the hidden bit.

This is causing issues. For example: https://forum.syncthing.net/t/syncthing-sets-hidden-dos-bit/17931/2

Could you please open an upstream bug for this issue?
