I am using smbmount (mount -t smbfs) version 2.2.8a for mounting shares from a Windows 2003 server on a Linux machine.
This works fine, but there seems to be a security problem; ordinary users can write to files, even when the Unix protection does not allow this.
The user cannot remove the file or create a new one, but can do what he/she wants with an existing one.
Is this a known problem, or am I doing someting wrong? I could not find anything on the subject on www.samba.org.
Please see the attached log for detail.
Thanks and regards, Georg A. Eie Basefarm AS
