It has been my experience that only the owner of the file and root change change ACLS on that file. Since you've stated that Administrator IS the owner, maybe there's something else. Are you getting any errors ? Who is the owner of the diretory that the folder resides in. Is the Administrator given write permissions at the share level?
My work-around for modifying ACL's was to create a hidden share that only Domain Admins were allowed to access, then for that share I used force user = root. That enabled all of my domain admins to modify ACL's on all files under that share. I know I've asked more questions than given answers, but sometimes it helps.

My administrator seemingly doesn't have the rights to change ACLs (ownership). And even though my administrator owns the fiels on the Samba machine it has no rights to change ACLs or ownership. The files are owned by "DOMAIN+Administrator" and group is "DOMAIN+Domain Admins". I have added the user to smbpasswd I think (how can I check this ? And is this needed ?). Or di I have to give this user 'root' rights and how can I do that ? Bart ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Aia Software B.V.
