           Summary: mask and mode settings in smb.conf confuses client file
                    permissions
           Product: openSUSE 11.1
           Version: Beta 2
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Samba

We have a SLES 10 SP2 server which uses certain masks in order to ensure
certain file permissions upon client write access.

This works beautifully. Yet, it is not possible to check the permissions on a
Samba share from a client since all permissions are confused:

drwxrwxrwx  7 mader optiker       0 2008-10-06 12:09 typicalFolder
-rwxrwSrwx  1 mader optiker  563315 2008-07-31 16:18 typicalFile

We don't want to use ACLs since this would introduce more complexity to the
setup. Furthermore, certain basic Linux tools still don't work properly with
ACLs (such as mv).

The file permissions should be transparent to the clients, be it a shell or
some graphical filemanager.

Also, the issue is the same ever since openSUSE 10.2, at least.
