They're read only on windows, we're trying to get around this somehow... I thought that using the fmask would override the existing permissions(?) -- Patrick Campbell OurVacationStore.com Website Administrator Tel. 602.896.4729 -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Alexey Fadyushin Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2005 6:51 AM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Re: Samba mount with fmask 664, ro files still exist. What are the permissions of those read-only files on the machine from which you are mount them? It seems that files which are read-only on mounted filesystem are read only on the original filesystem, and therefore could not be written. In this case the computer on which the files are actually stored will block write access even if the files are shown as not read-only on your computer.
