I've seen several suggestions to export CIFS shares to Linux rather than
NFS shares to Windows. My experience makes that undesireable but maybe
I've been missing something for several years.
Linux can certainly mount a CIFS share and deal with it just fine. But
every instance I've seen munges file permissions in the process. Every
CIFS file seems to have execute permission turned on, for example. File
ownership is based on who did the mount, not any attribute of the file.
To me, this makes using CIFS for anything other than access to Windows
files unacceptable. I sure don't want my home directory on CIFS.
Is there a way around these problems that I've missed?
