Description Andreas Moog 2009-08-22 00:57:02 UTC 
Forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=533433

When using gedit to edit a file on a samba share (like smb://WorkGroup;user@host.name/share/path/to/file.php ) each save of the file replaces the 
existing permissions with defaults -  in my case from 0664 to 0771, resulting in the web server refusing to run the php script.

There might be a way to change the defaults, but since in the same case for example Bluefish can save the file keeping the permissions, one might hope 
that from gedit, too.

Best, Harri K.

The problem here is that there's no reliable support for POSIX mode in libsmbclient as long as it maps some DOS attributes instead.

Suggestions welcome.
