Hello, We are running Samba 3.0.23c on Debian.
Over the weekend, we updated out file server to Debian's kernel 2.6.18. We had previously never run a kernel with ACL support enabled. Since the upgrade, we are seeing very strange permission behavior. It appears to be related to POSIX ACL support in Samba. It seems that what's happening is this. We have a number of files that are user/group writable (permissions 0664). When a user that is someone other than the Unix owner of the file writes to it, the permissions switch to 0474 (-r--rwxr--) and an ACL is added with this second user getting read/write permission to it. Unfortunately, the Unix owner of the file now is locked out of writing to it. We never had any problem with permissions on these files before using the ACL-enabled kernel. Is there a way to completely disable POSIX ACL support at runtime, and have Samba just revert back to its behavior when on a filesystem that does not support POSIX ACLs? Or, better yet, is there a way to fix this behavior?
