A just-released security alert, https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2007-0939.html mentioned the following: * A flaw was found in the CIFS file system. This could cause the umask values of a process to not be honored on CIFS file systems where UNIX extensions are supported. (CVE-2007-3740, Important) cp relies heavily on how the process umask works. If your CIFS file system implementation is affected by the above-fixed bug, then that may explain the failure. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
