Please consider the following. /z is a CIFS (NetApp) share.
1.3.22:
~> cd /z
/z> rm -f x
/z> touch x
/z> ls -l x
-rw-r--r-- 1 josb mkpasswd 0 May 28 12:16 x
/z> chmod -w x
/z> ls -l x
-r--r--r-- 1 josb mkpasswd 0 May 28 12:16 x
1.5.10:
~> cd /z
/z> rm -f x
/z> touch x
/z> ls -l x
-rw-r--r-- 1 josb mkpasswd 0 May 28 12:18 x
/z> chmod -w x
chmod: changing permissions of `x': Permission denied
/z> ls -l x
-rw-r--r-- 1 josb mkpasswd 0 May 28 12:18 x
/z>
It seems that chmod no longer works on network shares. How do I make it work
again? Your help is appreciated.
