Suspection was correct. I did pay no attention to the "+", but I read
the info node and saw the hint to "alternate access method". I guess
this means that the protection is determined by the Windows ACL.
Having realized this, I checked a few files, and from the samples
I took, I see that I have problems with chmod and chown only with
files where ls -l lists this tiny "+" (see the thread
"chmod suddenly ceased to work on old files - NEW FINDINGS" and
my most recent posting to "ssh ceased to work after recreation of
/etc/passwd"
- somehow what I believed to be different problems, might in the end all
be related to Windows ACL problems.
How does Windows get the ACL from? I guess Windows has a similar concept
of user- and group id as Unix. Could it be that in our LDAP directory,
my numeric userid was changed, while my user name stayed the same? Sorry
for the somewhat fuzzy wording, but I don't have enough knowledge of
Windows
to formulate it more precisely.
