--- Comment #3 from Harald Sitter <sit...@kde.org> ---
Upstream libsmbclient doesn't support chmodding since that wouldn't be portable
to windows hosts. Until that changes we cannot support that. The reason it
works when mount is because samba (the server) has the ability to add unix
specific extensions which would then allow chmodding in so far as a client
(e.g. samba) implements those extensions as well. The kernel-side cifs which is
used when mounting uses the extensions, libsmbclient does not. Ultimately that
needs taking up with the samba authors. Until they add extension support to
smblclient there's simply no way for us to support chmod over smb.
All that said, if the linux system supports and uses ACLs then bug #40892 comes
into play as supporting NT ACLs will be a portable way to control file
permissions regardless of server (samba server-side translates POSIX ACLs to NT
ACLs for the purpose of SMB).
