Smith, Thanks again for answering. I have gone through samba source code , I have assumed that when the samba user "admin" gives read write access to "test_subfolder" for the user "user1" from the windows security tab ( user1 has read only access to share "test") samba code posix_acl.c look at the read list of the share "test" ( since the user1 in read list ) and denies assigning rw access to test_subfolder. it looks like code is not designed like this.
if you don't mind , Can you please explain this , ---------- - although you would be asking it to restrict the admin's rights, which wouldn't be proper behavior. Plus it then wouldn't work like a Windows box, which is a primary goal. ---------------- Thanks Suresh -----Original Message----- From: samba-boun...@lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-boun...@lists.samba.org] On Behalf Of Chris Smith Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 2010 9:24 PM To: Kandukuru, Suresh Cc: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: Re: [Samba] samba acl - able to change permissions that contradict user security setting On Wed, Sep 8, 2010 at 11:14 AM, <suresh.kanduk...@emc.com> wrote: > Thanks smith for the quick reply. what I want to know is ,can not samba > source code prevent the changing setting rw access to "test_subfolder" user1 > , since he has only read only access on the share "test". I suppose you could patch it to do so - although you would be asking it to restrict the admin's rights, which wouldn't be proper behavior.
