Description Tomáš Hnyk 2009-01-27 22:03:30 UTC 
As reported for Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/308299/ (I am also affected), upon mounting samba shares through places -> network > windows network the owner group and permissions of files are set incorrectly:
-rwx------ 1 drew drew
(drew is my login name)
but they should be like this:
-rwxrwSrwx 1 root root
(that is wht ls reports when I mount the share with smbmount)
I do not exactly know what is the problem but some programs are not able to use the shares corretly, for example cdemu but alledgedly also songbird.

This is a bit tricky. First of all we're not enabling posix extensions (bug 562029), so I don't think we get the right uid/gid at all.

Furthermore, even if we got those, when exporting this in the fuse UI we can't just directly map the uid/gid to local users, as there is no guarantee that the user databases are the same.
Comment 2 Mattias Eriksson 2009-05-19 12:59:04 UTC 
I have a remote directory mounted using ssh which gets the wrong permissions. It seems that I have 700 access with me as the owner, in reality I'm not the owner and I only have read access in the folder. This causes openoffice 3.1 to always complain that there are a lock on the file, asking me to confirm and open read only. The result is the same, I open the document read only, but I always get an extra popup.
