[lug] rcs over samba

[Chan Kar Heng]

hi guyz...

i've got this prob with rcs under linux...

we're doing s/w development here. the source codes
lie in a central repository on a winnt server (almost
everyone else is using windoz here due to lack of know
how and some inconveniences when it comes to linux).

rcs is used for access to this repository, and the rcs
files are accessible via smb shares.

using a linux box, i need to mount the share folder.
no probs with that. even as a normal user. i can do
cp, mv, rm, chown, chmod, etc just fine under the smb
mounted folder. but when i try to check out a file, it
says permission denied and saves a file in that folder
with a filename of _9Ag53sd or something of equivalent.
otherwise, the file name would be a ,helloworld.c, file.
in short, ci co isn't doing it's job as expected.
do note that i'm using a normal user account. using root,
everything is absolutely clean.

thanks in advance.

btw, merry christmas and a very happy new year to all you good pple!

regards,

khchan
