Title:
  files on read-only win98 shares can't be opened on Hardy using cifs

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “linux” source package in Hardy:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  It looks like Hardy can't open files on Windows 98 shares when they
  are shared for read only.

  Steps to reproduce :
  - Create a read-only share  a folder on Win98 host.
  - on Hardy, as root : 
    - mount -t cifs //WINHOST/SHARENAME /mnt/ -o dir_mode=0700,file_mode=0700,guest,servern=WINHOST
    - cat /mnt/some_test.txt
  => you get an error message - I got either "permission denied" from my production server, or "host is down" from my workstation.

  Workaround :
  Make the share read-writeable in Windows 98.

  This was observed on both the server and desktop kernels.
  This seems fixed in Intrepid, but as a LTS release Hardy would benefit from a fix.

  Possible fix : a forum entry for a similar problem on another distro
  points to this change in the newer upstream kernels, which might be a
  cure:
