That covers all the obvious things for me. I'd recommend taking a look
at the SAMBA server to see if user IDs are mapped correctly. Also, I
know there were some problems in the past with older Samba servers, bugs
and all. Make sure you're using a current version there. It may be
worthwhile to look at the permissions and owners from the Windows
perspective too. If that doesn't get you anywhere, I'd recommend filing
a full problem report on your follow-up to the list. See the link below
for full details:
I don't think the CIFS server is using Samba, actually. It is a Celerra
storage array from EMC
(<http://www.emc.com/products/family/celerra-family.htm>), and in this
case, it isn't hooked up to an AD server like they usually have them.
Hm, looks like it does use smb, based off google. But I have no idea what
version of Samba it ships with. I'll see if I can find out from out
networking team.
Yeah, there's been plenty of these network appliances that really foul up
their implementation of permissions. MVFS and NetApp are a couple in the
past that have had problems. If you have the csih package installed, run
/usr/lib/csih/getVolInfo <drive letter>:/ and send the results here. And
then wait for the groans. ;-)
