mkdir: cannot create directory `/builds/somedir/': Permission denied

Hi,


I am trying to run a shell script which contains an mkdir command as part of the execution. The script fails with the following error:
Code:
  mkdir: cannot create directory `/builds/somedir/': Permission denied

The user running the script is 'harry' and belongs to group 'school'. The target directory is owned by another user ‘sally’.

ls -ld /builds/somedir/
Code:
  drwxr-xr-x+   14  sally  bin  1024 May 31 18:01 /builds/somedir/

The above path (/builds/somedir/) is a Samba share.

To make it work, I tried few things but to no avail:
--------------------------------------------------
1.
Code:
setfacl -d -m u:harry:rwx /builds/somedir
     setfacl -d -m g:school:rwx /builds/somedir

2. Added following entry in /etc/sudoers file
Code:
# User privilege specification
  harry ALL=(ALL) ALL

--------------------------------------------------

After making these changes, I tried running the mkdir command manually also but no luck. Smilie

The OS is GNU\Linux.

There is one thing weird that I just noticed: even with root user, I was not able to create directory in the given path. Does it has anything to do with Samba share?

After noticing this behavior, I removed the above entry from sudoers file, and instead added the following but still no luck.
-----------------------
Code:
harry ALL=(sally) ALL

-----------------------

Any ideas\inputs?


Regards,
Gaurav

Locale::Codes::LangFam(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				 Locale::Codes::LangFam(3)

NAME
Locale::Codes::LangFam - standard codes for language extension identification SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Codes::LangFam; $lext = code2langfam('apa'); # $lext gets 'Apache languages' $code = langfam2code('Apache languages'); # $code gets 'apa' @codes = all_langfam_codes(); @names = all_langfam_names(); DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Codes::LangFam" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language families, such as those as defined in ISO 639-5. Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 639-5 language family codes will be used. SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language families. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant that is automatically exported by this module. For example, the two are equivalent: $lext = code2langfam('apa','alpha'); $lext = code2langfam('apa',LOCALE_LANGFAM_ALPHA); The codesets currently supported are: alpha This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from ISO 639-5 such as 'apa' for Apache languages. This is the default code set. ROUTINES
code2langfam ( CODE [,CODESET] ) langfam2code ( NAME [,CODESET] ) langfam_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 ) all_langfam_codes ( [CODESET] ) all_langfam_names ( [CODESET] ) Locale::Codes::LangFam::rename_langfam ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] ) Locale::Codes::LangFam::add_langfam ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] ) Locale::Codes::LangFam::delete_langfam ( CODE [,CODESET] ) Locale::Codes::LangFam::add_langfam_alias ( NAME ,NEW_NAME ) Locale::Codes::LangFam::delete_langfam_alias ( NAME ) Locale::Codes::LangFam::rename_langfam_code ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] ) Locale::Codes::LangFam::add_langfam_code_alias ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] ) Locale::Codes::LangFam::delete_langfam_code_alias ( CODE [,CODESET] ) These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
