[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#522388: I also have the same problem

[Leo Smith]

My servers are debian etch latest stable samba release, client is debian 
lenny, latest stable release.

I can read create and delete files, but not open them for writing IF 
THEY EXIST ALREADY.

I wrote this

/home/leo/doit.c

#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
FILE *fp;
fp=fopen("test","r");
if (fp)
    {
    printf("opened test for read OK\n");
    fclose (fp);
    }
else printf("failed to open test for read\n");
fp=fopen("test","w");
if(fp)
    {
    printf("opened file for write\n");
    fclose(fp);
    }
else printf("failed to open file for write\n");
}

#mount:
..........
//tempest/leo on /mnt type cifs (rw,mand)

othello:/home/leo# cd /mnt
othello:/mnt# /home/leo/doit

failed to open test for read
opened file for write

othello:/mnt# /home/leo/doit

opened test for read OK
failed to open file for write



This clearly shows the PROBLEM, but where it comes from I do not know. I 
have just upgraded to latest lenny stable, in the hope it was 'fixed' 
but it is not.


My server is debian etch
Samba version 3.0.24

I have played around with file permissions and smb.conf, but nothing works.
