Re: Samba and XEmacs and read-only
Ar an t-aonú lá is triochad de mí na Nollaig, scríobh QZ:
Searching the forums it appears this problem is not new but perhaps
it
has been assumed to no longer be an issue. Tonight I tried to edit a
file served by Samba with XEmacs 21.4.20, 21.4.21, and 21.5-b28. Each
attempt and each version yielded the same result. I.e. XEmacs would open
the file read-only ignoring true permissions. After opening the file
read-only, I would M-X toggle-read-only, make my changes, and save. This
work around unfortunately does not help if the file does not exist as
XEmacs refuses to make files in directories served by Samba.
Another workaround if you have Cygwin; M-! touch new-file-name RET to create
the file, and then C-x C-s .
It seems to think that all directories are read-only. For what it is
worth, this is not a problem with GNU Emacs 22.1. (I've been using
XEmacs for years and would hate to switch now though :( )
Do you happen to remember a specific version where this worked in the past?
If there is any more information that would be helpful or any work
around
please contact me.
