Hi, This past week I deployed samba4 on a test server running Debian Wheezy. I use samba4 with bind9 for DNS. The installation was very straight forward. I also did a test upgrade of an existing samba3 setup which also worked nicely after I dealt with a few hiccups (mainly all DNS related). I tested with a Windows XP Pro workstation and it seems to work flawlessly. I have two things I would like to ask:
1) It's my understanding that permissions on shares are not set like they were with samba3: they are done mainly through Windows. So what would be the correct permissions to use on the Unix filesystem (i.e. dirs/files). At the moment, I have ownership to root with 755 on directories and 644 on files. Setting ACL through windows seems to work fine. Is there anything special I need to do on the Unix side of things? Once I migrate samba3 to samba4 can I safely remove all Unix users and groups? 2) samba4 is being deployed in a all MAC OS X shop (except servers which running Debian Wheezy). Unfortunately, I get weird problems when trying to get the MAC to play with samba4. The version of MAC OS X I used is 10.7.5. It can successfully join the AC DC. I can then switch user to any of the AC users. However, when I login with an AC user I get an unusable MAC desktop: I can't open applications and create files/directories. It's clearly a permission issue, but I don't know why nor how to fix it. Even more confusing, when I reboot, I can no longer login using AD users: they are immediately rejected. If I unbind and rebind to the AD, login using AD users works again but with the same problem just repeating over again. I would be grateful for any help, thank you. -- Ghislain Hachey
