Ave, > But i think that when remounting the partitition, the permissions are reset too. Unfortunately you're absolutely right! The share is re-mounted on a daily basis (along with a reboot), and thus, even if the 'copy, delete from server, copy to server' process were to work, with every unmount & remount, it would go back to original permissions & ownership. Fmask, dmask and for that matter some other mount_smbfs options I found are an accurate solution to this problem - but unfortunately they don't work on Mac OS X, or the Samba that comes with mac os x, one or the other. I know this is gone completely out of PHP context, but I do appreciate you guys helping out. I'm just not finding any solution for this. I think I've gone through 100 websites googling different combinations.
You could try to update to the latest version (maybe even from CVS), i'm not sure if it helps, but if it is fixed, it is done in a later version :) And if it doesn't, you could submit a bug ticket at samba. Tijnema
