Bug#392370: rsync (Cygwin) can't overwrite read-only files on Samba share
Harald Dunkel
Hash: SHA1
Package: samba
Version: 3.0.14a-3sarge2
To reproduce, export your home using samba
[homes]
read only = no
create mask = 0644
directory mask = 0755
browseable = no
guest ok = yes
Mount this share on a Windows host (XP, Cygwin), enter
bash and switch to this directory. Next run
touch x y
chmod -w y
rsync x y
I got an error message saying
rsync: rename "/cygdrive/x/fuerharri/.y.KTKKRo" -> "y": Permission denied (13)
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at /home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.6/main.c(791)
If I use Unstable's Samba to share a disk, then there is
no such problem. There is no such problem with Samba on
RedHat EL3 or 4, either.
Regards
Harri

Sure, but the policy for handling updates in Debian does not give any
solution. The issue is not a release critical issue but "only" a bug
that has been fixed in later versions of samba.
You're reaching the limits of using Debian stable for your server.
I suggest you try using backports from www.backports.org. They are often
derived from the testing/unstable packages and thus give you some kind
of quality guarantee.
This, of course, waiting for the soon-to-come etch release which will
allow you to switch back to official packages.
If you experience crashes after the upgrade, please check the "passdb
backend" line in smb.conf. It may contain "passdb backend = tdbsam,". In
that case, remove the extra comma.
