Hi all, Running F8 with CIFS access to a user specific home share on a RHEL server. If I copy a directory tree from my local home to my personal share on the server and there are files with leading periods in the name (eg. .bashrc, .emacs, etc.), I get errors indicating a problem copying the files. This does not occur with files that lack the leading period in the name. One example of the message from the CLI, being in the target folder on the server: $ cp /home/marcs/.emacs .emacs cp: cannot create regular file `.emacs': No such file or directory However, if I do this: $ cp /home/marcs/.emacs emacs it is fine. So it seems that creating files with leading periods is the issue, not that the source file has leading periods. This happens with Nautilus, Konqueror and via the CLI. It happens whether I do this as 'myself' or via sudo. It also happens whether I login in to the CIFS/SMB share using the smb:// prefix in Nautilus or whether I place an entry in /etc/fstab and mount the share in /mnt. I presume that this is a permissions issue of sorts, but cannot seem to locate anything via Google that mimics this behavior. I do have the folder tree on the server set to 'chmod 777' just to cover bases for now and I am the owner. Any ideas? Need more information? Thanks, Marc Schwartz
