This isn't a direct question about Linux, but I figure most of you out
there have worked with Apache and SAMBA.<br>
Anyway I have a strange problem when changing permissions on a file (ex.
index.html) through Windows on a SAMBA share. <br>
For example: All user files are accessed through SAMBA<br>
Through W2K, I set the permission on my index.html file so that only the
user has read/write and nothing for group and Everyone. <br>
Now this should break my web page, but to my surprise it still
loads!!! I check the permission of the file on the UNIX server,
sure enough the index.html file shows mode 600. Hmmmm, next I check the
to see what the perms look like on the Web server. Sure enough it
shows mode 600 too?!?!?!?! And yet the page still loads in my
browser. So I restart Apache, the page still loads; I restart the
nfs daemons on the web server, the page still loads; I make sure and
empty my memory cache and disk cache on my browser, the page still
loads!!!!<br>
Its only after I do a "chmod 600 index.html" (in UNIX) again,
that the page finally breaks and I get the 403 error.<br><br>
Has anyone else seen this behavior? This happens on SAMBA shares for both
Linux and Solaris.<br><br>
Apache version: 1.3.19<br>
SAMBA version: 2.2.4<br>
Linux: RH 7.2<br>
Solaris 8<br><br>
