The attached file shows a section from OO.o source. It checks if the remote file has owner or group matches the uid/gid of the running Openoffice process (!) This is all just plain wrong:
- Local and remote users/groups aren't necessarily matching. - Openoffice checks things which lay in the domain of libgnomevfs - Even if users/groups are in sync on local/remote system, there can be supplementary groups the user (on both sides) can be part of. Of course, this is an upstream problem, but I don't know where to report that in a proper way and I think Ubuntu/Debian maintainers could help getting that nasty problem fixed. ** Attachment added: "read-only check for gnomevfs" http://librarian.launchpad.net/6646294/content.cxx ** Also affects: openoffice (upstream) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed ** Changed in: gnome-vfs2 (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Rejected -- Openoffice won't open files using sftp:// in read/write mode https://launchpad.net/bugs/41985 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
