Oggetto: Re: [DNG] How to force permission change?
If you have physical access to the NAS box, and can remove the drive
holding these files, and can install it directly on a computer you do
have root access to, then you should be able to change the permissions
using the method you have tried over cifs (chown/chmod).  Otherwise, I
believe you'll need either root access to the NAS box, or you'll need to
login as uid 501 (the owner of the file you listed) to change its
permissions.
