I'm using two text files for my test. One is a shell script (named rsync_update) located in a read only public share and a plain text file (named TACF_Notes.txt) in a writable "home" share. File permissions are as follows:
-rw------- 1 bshotts bshotts 303 Oct 1 09:11 /home/bshotts/TACF_Notes.txt -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 490 Feb 12 18:31 /usr/local/share/ftp-install/fc-devel/rsync_update The smb.conf file on the server (a CentOS 4.4 system) contains the following definitions for the forementioned shares: [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writeable = yes [ftp-install] comment = Install files path = /usr/local/share/ftp-install guest ok = yes For reference, I popped in a Ubuntu 6.06 live CD and repeated the test. 6.06 is able to read (via nautilus) the plain text file but not the shell script. Also I am seeing the same behavior in Fedora 7 Test 3 ( installed on the same machine as the Ubuntu 7.04 beta). I recall that earlier in the test cycle, this problem did not exist. Further, my Fedora 5 system (using KDE) has no problem with either file. Hope this helps. -- gedit unable to open files on samba shares (7.04 Beta) https://launchpad.net/bugs/95414 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
