I reduced the problem to being client-side: directory foo belongs to gid 1011 on the server, and on the server, the user mounting the share with smbfs is a member of 1011. However, locally, on the client machine, group 1011 does not exist. If I create it, then access to the directory works fine. However, this is not an option. I tried the gid= option for smbmount, but that only changes the gid of the root directory of the mount. Everything underneath is exported from Samba. This makes smbfs pretty unusable in a distributed, non-cluster context. How are people dealing with this? I wonder why file access works just fine. I can access a 0660 someoneelse.group file just fine, because I am a member of group. I can't cd into a 0770 someoneelse.group though.
