We're having problems on Samba 2.2.7a and 2.2.8, IBM JFS 1.1.1, Linux version 2.4.20, bestbits ACLs, etc. The problem is seen with Windows 2000 and Windows XP clients. I get different permissions for the default group on new files & directories depending on if the directory tree is xcopied or is moved via drag & drop in the GUI. According to level 10 samba logs and ethereal traces the difference that causes this problem is that the xcopy triggers serveral transaction2 SET_FILE_INFORMATION level 1004 calls. Samba does a chmod on the file or directory while processing this call. Nothing in this call looks to me like it should be changing the permissions. I tried the same test against a Windows 2000 server and found the resulting permissions are the same for both trees regardless of the copy method. Items from smb.conf [acl-test] comment = Temp Space to test ACL path = /home/group/new inherit acls = yes nt acl support = yes We don't have any mention of mask, mode, etc. in the smb.conf Comparison of the ACLs: [EMAIL PROTECTED] d1]# getfacl smtest # file: smtest # owner: bmarsh # group: bmarsh user::rwx group::--- group:admin:rwx mask::rwx other::--- default:user::rwx default:group::--- default:group:admin:rwx default:mask::rwx default:other::--- [EMAIL PROTECTED] d1]# getfacl smtestx # file: smtestx # owner: bmarsh # group: bmarsh user::rwx group::rwx group:admin:rwx mask::rwx other::--x default:user::rwx default:group::--- default:group:admin:rwx default:mask::rwx default:other::--- ACL on the parent directory of smtest & smtestx: [EMAIL PROTECTED] new]# getfacl d1 # file: d1 # owner: bmarsh # group: bmarsh user::rwx group::--- group:admin:rwx mask::rwx other::--- default:user::rwx default:group::--- default:group:admin:rwx default:mask::rwx default:other::--- How the directories were created: Y:\>xcopy smtest y:\d1\smtestx /s /e (I use the new dir smtestX for xcopy) Does Y:\d1\smtestx specify a file name or directory name on the target (F = file, D = directory)? d smtest\t1.txt 1 File(s) copied Then I drag and drop the same directory onto the same server to get smtest Thanks, Bill Marshall
