uid If CIFS Unix extensions are not supported by the server
this overrides the default uid for inodes. For mounts to
servers which do support the CIFS Unix extensions, such
as a properly configured Samba server, the server provides
the uid, gid and mode. For servers which do not support
the Unix extensions, the default uid (and gid) returned on
lookup of existing files is the uid (gid) of the person
who executed the mount (root, except when mount.cifs
is configured setuid for user mounts) unless the "uid="
(gid) mount option is specified. For the uid (gid) of newly
created files and directories, ie files created since
the last mount of the server share, the expected uid
(gid) is cached as as long as the inode remains in
memory on the client. Also note that permission
checks (authorization checks) on accesses to a file occur
at the server, but there are cases in which an administrator
may want to restrict at the client as well. For those
servers which do not report a uid/gid owner
(such as Windows), permissions can also be checked at the
client, and a crude form of client side permission checking
can be enabled by specifying file_mode and dir_mode on
the client
