Description of problem: write only directories(other permissions set to write and execute only) do not allow users to drag and drop items on them when mounted using a Windows client, or mounted using nautilus under RHEL5, or mounted under a Mac OS X client. Mounting the share using the mount.cifs in RHEL5.1 does allow for items to be drag and dropped, using the mv or cp command, and also the touch command. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.0.25b-1.el5_1.4 How reproducible: This is very easily reproducable. Steps to Reproduce: 1. setup a samba share and at least one samba user account that can access the share. 2. inside the share create a directory called dropbox. Give it the following permissions. chmod go=wx ./dropbox 3. Connect to the share using a windows2000,XP, or Vista client. 4. drag and drop a simple text file on the dropbox directory. Actual results: an Error dialog saying access denied Expected results: File is copied into the dropbox directory Additional info: RHEL5 with samba version 3.0.23c-2 did not have this problem.
