CIFS currently mounts shares with default permssions of 02767 when posix extensions and cifsacl is disabled, with default ownership of root:root. This could stand to be tightened up in my opinion. I suggest a default mode of 02700 (leaving the setgid + !group execute bit set to signify mandatory locking). sysadmins could then choose to loosen up those modes if they choose. As a bonus, I'd also suggest that we not allow chmod or create modes to override the in memory mode when these modes can't actually be stored on the server, but there is some resistance to that upstream.
I would second this plan, the only doubt is around mandatory locking, but as windows servers would enforce it anyway I guess it's the best thing to do.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Patch sent upstream this weekend and is being debated on-list.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Patch pushed upstream. New default file/dir_mode is 0755.
