The problem I reported would occur with Samba 2.2.4, but not 2.2.2. set_sd() in 2.2.4
returns False if the sd_len passed by the client is 0. This would be okay, except
Novell clients apparently set sd_len=0.
To fix the novell problem, I changed set_sd() to return True, not False if sd_len==0.
I never got a response on why this code was added to 2.2.4.
-Dan Barrett
static BOOL set_sd(files_struct *fsp, char *data, uint32 sd_len, uint32
security_info_sent, int *pdef_class,uint32 *pdef_code)
{
prs_struct pd;
SEC_DESC *psd = NULL;
TALLOC_CTX *mem_ctx;
BOOL ret;
/* Stock Samba fails if sd_len==0, but some Novell client copies pass SMB
requests with valid EA info, but no SD. We want to allow these types of opens.*/
if (sd_len == 0) {
DEBUG(5,("set_sd: sd_len==0. Allowing anyway.\n"));
*pdef_class = 0;
*pdef_code = 0;
return True;
}

When I heated my home with oil, I used an average of 800 gallons a
year. I have found that I can keep comfortably warm for an entire
winter with slightly over half that quantity of beer.
