Hi. I've been searching around for answers on this one and experimenting a fair amount, but I seem to be stuck. I hope this is an appropriate place for my question and if not, apologies.
I am running Samba v3 on a Linksys NSLU2 (Network Storage Link -- a NAS). (It runs GNU/Linux.) I have a share set up with these options: force directory mode=000 force create mode=000 create mask=777 directory mask=777 >From an Ubuntu machine, I mount the share on the NSLU2 using cifs. I have my username and group ids synced to match on both machines. I'm running this command: rsync -ai --stats --delete ~/test/ /mnt/nslu/test/ Most things work fine. My permissions are preserved on the remote drive for the most part after the rsync, but I'm seeing a couple of odd cases. If I have a file with 400 permissions, it gets created with 500 after the initial rsync. If I run rsync again, it changes to 400. Similarly, I have a 600 file and it initially is created as 722, again changing to 600 on the subsequent run. This isn't happening with several other combinations, for example: 444, 706, 440, 640, 644, 740. Those are all created with the same permissions on the first run of rsync. Any suggestions or explanations would be greatly appreciated.
