Finder ignores CIFS/SMB permissions if under 777.

I've seen alot of talk of this over the last year, but no real solutions.
In finder, if I do go->Connect to server do: CIFS://server/home/user/ it prompts me for a username/password which is readily accepts and then connects to the share. However when finder comes up it gives me 'The folder "user" can't be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents."
If I pull open terminal.app I can do a cd /Volumes/server/home/user/ and a directory listing just fine. The default permissions (in the unix world) is 711. If I change it to 777 finder becomes happy. However, this really isn't a valid solution as it breaks other things.
The NAS in question is an EMC VNX, and as far as one can tell we're patched up beyond the "July" issue where Lion crashes the data movers.
This is seriously feeling like a failure of Finder to handle permissions right. What else can I verify to ensure it isn't a finder issue?

I think it's a bigger problem than you suggest. I have 2 buffalo NAS boxes here, a NetGEAR ReadyNAS NV+ and a Windows 2008 server. I can connect to everything - except the 2k8 machine's share. It shows up in the shared places list, it attempts to connect: I've turned off the Group Policy requirement for encrypted passwords on the 2k8 server, which is what allowed Leopard to connect to it, originally - but SL won't complete the connection.
This is especially weird, since the Buffalos and the ReadyNAS all use Active Directory user authentication for the connections made to them by the SL machine... I'm amazed nobody is reporting this yet (that I can find in the forum, at least).
Anyone with any idea what's gotta be hacked, please post here!

How JFileChooser finds the Desktop and can browse CIFS(SMB) in windows.

Hello.
I'm currently using serveral methods from FileSystemView used by JFileChooser to detect if a File is a system root, a floppy, or to find the "My Documents" folder under windows.
JFileChooser however is also able to provide a link to the desktop. How do I get that location from Java?
Further more. JFileChooser is able to browse and use resources located on the network using CIFS(SMB). I've searched through JFileChoosers source. But I can't figure out how it does this.
I'm currently writing a Folder synchronization app. As you can see in the screenshot ( http://users.telenet.be/greenhouse/Screenshot-7.png ) I'm trying to integrate the location browser (Look based on the GTK file browser) more into windows. I want my users to be able to browse CIFS just like in the JFileChooser. How do I do this?
The reason I'm writing my own browser is because the GTK one provided in Java is more then lacking. And I can provide browsing for remote resources more easily (like SFTP and SCP)
In short:
*JFileChooser however is also able to provide a link to the desktop. How do I get that location from Java?
*JFileChooser browses and uses CIFS in windows. How do I do this (without a 3th party library) the same way as JFileChooser does it?

JFileChooser fr = new javax.swing.JFileChooser();
        FileSystemView fw=fr.getFileSystemView();
        defaultfolder = fw.getDefaultDirectory().getPath();
       String desktopfolder;
        if(System.getProperty("os.name").startsWith("Windows")){
            for(File tmp:fw.getRoots()){
                dekstopfolder = tmp.getPath();
        }That piece of code gives the path to the desktop folder in Windows. In linux it returns root. (getRoots();) How horrible.
I hope I'm going about this the wrong way. Because this would be an ugly Java API.

10.5 CIFS/SMB and illegal Characters - Again

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107032 states that the following characters "? [ ] / \ = + ; : " , | *" cannot be used on CIFS/SMB shares with 10.4. However I can successfully use them with 10.5 on CIFS/SMB shares.
Can some one advise me if there is a way to default back to 10.4 restriction with 10.5 on CIFS/SMB shares.

Is your server bound to AD, and your PC clients as well (probably) ?
First, stop SMB.
Then, backup /etc/smb.conf
Then edit it (use nano or vi or emacs via the Terminal. If you must use the GUI then use TextWrangler.
Make sure the file permissions are preserved.
under the [global] section of /etc/smb.conf, make the following modifications (add the entry if it's not there):
security = ads
windbind separator = +
; auth methods = guest opendirectory
ie: comment out "auth methods" via the ";"
Start smb and compare. Anytime you make a change in the GUI tools, verify your edits are preserved.

Firefox's pdf.js completely ignores PDF document permissions.

Firefox's new JavaScript PDF Viewer pdf.js is really a disaster.
It completely ignores PDF document permissions set by Acrobat Professional and so on.
With Firefox's pdf.js people can freely print any PDF and copy the texts and images.
This was reported as a bug in bugzilla@mozilla but it seems that it is going to be fixed soon.

Does nobody in Adobe voice one's disagreement about this?

This isn't a new issue - most of the third-party PDF reading applications have been ignoring the permissions headers in a PDF for years, and some claim it's perfectly valid for a user to be able to override password-based restrictions on copying/printing under 'fair use'. Adobe disagrees, as do I, but the nature of the PDF document structure means that it's trivial for any application to ignore those restrictions. You certainly don't need the password. Acrobat warns you the first time you use the Protection tools that Adobe always respects the permissions you set even if other vendors choose not to.
As has been said many times; the only way to truly secure the content of a PDF file against printing or copying is to use LiveCycle digital rights management, as that forces the PDF to be opened in Adobe software and nothing else. If you cannot afford LCDRM, you have to accept that your 'secured' PDFs are anything but.

Can't open Office 2011 files on CIFS/SMB shares.

I can't open Excel or Word documents if they are opened from a network CIFS/SMB share. Excel returns something like "could not open because some content is unreadable" and offers to repair the document. Word just questions if the document is corrupt and errors out too. If I drag the same document to my desktop, it opens just fine. Is something broken with SMB? I'm running the latest Yosemite (10.10) upgraded from Mavericks 10.9.5. Office 2011 is completely updated too.

I am having what I think is a intimately related problem, but which is somewhat more aggravated. I have a server set up using FreeNAS 9.3, which is configured as Windows+CIFS (SMB) in order to facilitate for Windows-based computers to join. Permissions are consequently set-up with a Windows client (a MBP running Win7 in Bootcamp). Everything works fine as far as access and file transfer goes, but using any application changes the experience.
Just to be explicit, my problem is not only related to MS Office files, but also to PDFs and PNGs (I assume it is related to ALL files, but those are the ones I have tested). The problem arises, as for you other, when I try to save from within the application after I have altered the file's content. I get different messages depending on the application, but they all share the problem of not being able to save and that they after showing that error message, change the filename on the server (in the case of Word, it becomes 'Word work file L_2.tmp').
I have tried connecting to the server using Win7 and changing the same file and that works just as intended. I have also tried setting up a dataset (folder) on the server with only AFP and Mac settings and that works fine, but as Apple shifted to SMB from Mavericks it is not that enticing to set up a server with a dying technology, which is why I insist on getting the Windows/SMB share to work.
I have also tried the tips provided in this thread:
http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1253789
1. smb://FreeNAS
2. cifs://FreeNAS (should force SMB1)
3. smb://FreeNAS:139 (should force connection over Netbios instead of TCP/IP)
None works.
I have checked the log files /var/log/samba4/log.smbd and /var/log/messages on the server, but they do not provide any error messages in this respect.
Based on declure's suggestion, I have copied a new Word file to the server -> disconnected from the server -> reconnected using 'cifs://servername' -> opened the Word file and tried to save it -> same error message ("Word cannot save this document due to a naming or permissions error on the destination volume."). As this works in Win7 it seems as the real problem resides not with the application (or is Office for mac faulty?), but with OSX.
Any constructive suggestions would be appreciated as I really would want this to work using SMB.

How to find out which SMB version runns on Lion

Hello,
How can i find out which SMB Protocol Version runns on OS X Lion??
We have a small LAN and have bad performance with Macs running Lion (and Mountain Lion) connected to Windows 7 / 8
I am still running Snow Leopard and get better performance than others running newer Versions of OS X.
For example when i am connected to a windows machine i get around 10-11 MB per second (in a 100 Mbit LAN).
My colleagues running newer os x versions get around 8-9 MB (the LION User ony about 7 MB).

Open AirPort Utility and click on your AirPort Extreme icon, then click directly on the AirPort Extreme heading just to the right of the icon and info about your model will appear.
Do the same for the AirPort Express.

I recently downloaded mountain lion and just had it emailed to me but I'm having trouble downloading it to my computer. I cannot find the button that says "redeem" under quick links.

You must have a minimum of OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed on your Mac to have the Mac App Store. The Quick Links are on the Featured pane.

How to find sql server backup was taken under compression mode

Hello,
How to find SQL server backup was taken under compression mode ? I have disabled the Compress Mode backup setting but I want to make sure the backup is taken without compression.
Is there a script for that?
Thanks

I have disabled the Compress Mode backup
That is only a default setting, in backup command you can always overwrite it to a different value.
