I had been running Fedora 9 for the last year --- I have a Windows box (actually a VM) that mounts a folder on the Fedora box using my own name/password. I do this so that I can run my version control program (Vault) on Windows. It has worked flawlessly for the last 6 months.

Yesterday, I upgraded Fedora from version 9 to version 11. Since doing so, I am no longer able to change file permissions from my Windows box. Nothing has changed, there's no firewall on the machine, SELinux is disabled (SELINUX=disabled in /etc/sysconfig/selinux), etc

I can still read the files. Any idea what has happened and how I might fix this?

Thanks, David

P.S. The error I get is

An error occurred applying attributes to the file: ....my filename... Access is denied.

P.P.S. I AM able to create a NEW file in the mounted folder. After doing so, I can change its properties to make it be read-only. BUT I then can NOT change its properties again to be writable. Hope this helps.

A: 

Turns out this would appear to be a bug in the latest version of Samba that you get when you install Fedora 11.

I manually built SAMBA 3.4.1 from source, installed it and my Windows machines work just fine with it.

(Just in case anyone else searches this site)
