The upstream bug logged against the CifsVFS module within samba https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1617 has not been updated in nearly two years. I've pinged a comment on that bug to enquire as to the status.
My suggestion is that if the upstream bug is not fixed, a Ubuntu patch should be built into the ubuntu distributed version that implements C. Russell Lehman's proposed fix (as per the bug report in samba's bugzilla). -- Cannot mount cifs shares as normal user on directories not owned by the user https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106146 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
