[Dovecot] Undeserved permissions error with g+s folder permissions
I have a (mbox/IMAP) directory under my mail directory with these permissions:
drwxrws--- 4 tlhackque mail 4096 Dec 1 10:34 Vendors/
It contains a subdirectory:
-rw-rw---- 1 thlackque mail 84805345 Dec 1 10:34 Vendors/AVendor
If I try to rename the AVendor folder (client is Thunderbird 17.0), I get this error:
Unable to rename across conflicting directory permisssionsIf I chmod g-s Vendors, the RENAME command succeeds.
I shouldn't have to do this...

Where are you renaming it to and what permissions that directory has? I can't seem to easily reproduce this.

Thanks for looking at this!
Here it is from the top with every step from creating the subfolder thru the fail to success without -s, reproduced today:
On the server, in my ~mail directory: | ||ls -ld Vendors drwxrws--- 4 tlhackque mail 4096 Dec 18 13:56 Vendors/ ls -ld Vendors/Test ls: Vendors/Test: No such file or directory
Right-click on Vendors in TB New Folder Test Subfolder of Vendors [Server restricts] x Messages only Create
ls -ld Vendors/Test -rw-rw---- 1 tlhackque mail 0 Dec 18 13:58 Vendors/Test
Right click on Test Rename Test Rename RENAME
Brief pop-up with this text; retrieved from the TB Activity manager window: The current command did not succeed. The mail server for account (tlhackque) responded: [CANNOT} Renaming not supported across conflicting directory permissions.
chmod g-s Vendors; ls -ld Vendors drwxrwx--- 4 tlhackque mail 4096 Dec 18 13:58 Vendors
Right click on Test Rename Test Rename RENAME
Succeeds | dovecot --version 2.1.10
Thunderbird 17.0
OS: cat /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease 2.6.22.14-72.fc6
SELinux is enabled, there are no errors in the log.

Thanks for looking at this! .. dovecot --version 2.1.10
Looks like this was fixed in v2.1.11.

Got an upgrade window and confirmed that this is fixed in 2.1.12.
Thanks!
