I set up Samba+ACLs on 7.3 but it's basically the same thing. They removed ACL support from 8.0's kernel. Patch the RedHat kernel sources with a patch from acl.bestbits.at (you might need to download more current kernel sources though). Then compile the RPM: vi Makefile Change the rpm -ba command at the bottom to rpmbuild -ba. rpm -ba is no longer supported in 8.0. make dep rpm RedHat includes acl libraries and binaries on the 8.0 CD. Check that they're installed: rpm -q acl libacl If not, install them. They might need attr/libattr as well. I also installed an updated fileutils from acl.bestbits.at since 'ls -l' was broken. Install your new kernel and reboot. Try to remount with the new ACL options: mount / -oacl,remount mount | grep acl If that worked, put the acl option in /etc/fstab: LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults,acl 1 1 Reompile a Samba RPM to include ACL support. I wrote about this earlier this week. Search marc.theaimsgroup.com.
