Hello All,
I have been spending a bit of time playing around with trying to get permission
inheritance to work in a similar way to what our Windows team is used to with
their Windows servers.
The behaviour I am after is to following:
1. Create a new folder
2. Select the new folder and go to Properties -> Security -> Advanced
3. Tick the "Inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to child
objects..."
4. Click Apply/OK as necessary to close the options windows
5. Create a new sub-folder in the previously created folder
6. Select the new sub-folder and go to Properties -> Security -> Advanced
7. I should see that "Inherit from parent..." is already ticked by default
'map acl inherit = yes' would seem to be the option I am after. It does seem to
work on individual folders, but does not propagate the "Inherit from parent..."
option by default when new sub-folders are created.
'inherit permissions = yes' and 'inherit acls = yes' work OK for settings the
permissions correctly when a file/folder is newly created, but falls over when
permissions need to changed at a later stage.
Am I missing something obvious? or is this behaviour not able to be reproduced
using samba?
Cheers,
John.
