This is weird behaviour. It turned out that this was a result of always
creating a file with a valid security descriptor instead of just a
default descriptor when creating a file on a Samba share. The security
descriptor has the local user SID in it's ACL, but Samba maintains
another user SID. There's still no solution for a transparent mapping
between these two SIDs. Anyway, the behaviour of the NtCreateFile call
is rather strange. Apparently Samba creates the file first, and then,
afterwards, checks the security descriptor when it should return the
file handle. It finds that the permissions don't match and *bing*
returns STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED and a NULL handle. That's not helpful.
I have reverted the patch from last month for now.
Thanks for the report,
Corinna
