Hi, On a windows client if I attempt to modify the permissions on a file which resides on a linux server, when I hit "apply or ok" my changes are lost.
Doing it from the unix cli (using setfacl) works as expected and the changes are not lost. Yet on windows if I right click - properties - Security. select add, add a user or group, hit Apply and the user/group I just added is removed. ACL support is properly configured as far as I am aware on the linux file server. any one with any idea as to what I should look at, that would be great, thanks! It has been a bummer modifying all the permission change requests by hand. ====================================================== samba is built with ACL support: smbd -b |grep ACL HAVE_SYS_ACL_H HAVE_POSIX_ACLS ====================================================== Kernel has ACL support built in as does the file system: CONFIG_NFS_ACL=y CONFIG_NFSD_ACL=y CONFIG_NFS_ACL_SUPPORT=y CONFIG_REISERFS_FS_POSIX_ACL=y CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL=y ====================================================== mount returns: /dev/mapper/VG01-LV01 on /export/exec type reiserfs (rw,acl,user_xattr) ======================================================= if I modify a files ACL from the command line (local to the server) the changes stick and are viewable on the windows client: exec:/export/exec/foobar # getfacl complight.jpg # file: complight.jpg # owner: greg # group: users user::rw- group::r-x group:systems_smb:r-x mask::rwx other::--- exec:/export/exec/foobar # setfacl -m user:john:rwx complight.jpg exec:/export/exec/foobar # getfacl complight.jpg # file: complight.jpg # owner: greg # group: users user::rw- user:john:rwx group::r-x group:systems_smb:r-x mask::rwx other::--- ======================================================= The domain is controled by a samba pdc server running version 3.0.8, all linux samba servers run in DOMAIN mode.
