Hi

I'm currently using a windows image processing application that regularly writes the user's image adjustments out to a 'sidecar' file in the same directory as the original image. When the original file is on a local disk this works fine but when the original image is on Samba share, the sidecars are not created.

The application reports the following in its log:
2012-07-14 08:35:56.448 | 5452 - 1 | Sidecar - Warn | Rights to save file S:\testImage.nef are not sufficient, expected: Write, Delete - actual: Read, Synchronize

Software versions are as follows:
Client machine (running image processing software): Windows 7 x64 Professional SP1 Server: SuSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2, Samba Version 3.6.3-0.24.4-2794-SUSE-CODE11-x86_64

I have checked that the share I have configured is writeable. The entry in smb.conf for the share is:

[shared]
        comment = Shared Folder
        inherit acls = Yes
        path = /home/shared
        read only = No

My global settings are as follows:

[global]
        workgroup = 9Fairways
        printing = cups
        printcap name = cups
        printcap cache time = 750
        cups options = raw
        map to guest = Bad User
        logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile
        logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile
        logon drive = P:
        domain logons = No
        domain master = No
        netbios name = server
        security = user
        usershare allow guests = Yes
        usershare max shares = 20
        map archive = no
        ldap suffix =
        passdb backend = smbpasswd
        wins support = Yes

The application vendor is telling me that the problem is with Linux but I wonder if their code my be misreading the file permissions. Is there anyway I could prove this one way or the other?

If any further information is needed, do let me know.

Best regards

Bruce
