hi everyone- i have a linux box and a win98 box on a network, with the windows box exporting a directory via SMB. i use smbmount to mount the share, which works fine. the problem arises when i try the following operation:
9:27 [28] alsu (alsu):tmp/salishan99/CVS -> ls -l Entries* -rwxr-xr-x 1 alsu alsu 0 Apr 17 09:26 Entries* -rwxr-xr-x 1 alsu alsu 308 Apr 17 09:26 Entries.Backup* -rwxr-xr-x 1 alsu alsu 320 Apr 17 09:26 Entries.Log* 9:27 [29] alsu (alsu):tmp/salishan99/CVS -> mv -f Entries.Backup Entries mv: cannot move `Entries.Backup' to `Entries': Permission denied basically, mv doesn't want to unlink the Entries file to rename Entries.Backup to Entries. this is essentially the operation that CVS wants to perform when updating a working directory. has anyone encountered this problem and know of a solution? i could be way off here, but it seems like a problem in the implmentation of smbfs. anyway, thanks! -alan
