[Samba] ACL Support in Samba 3.0.20b
My agency is migrating from Solaris PCnetlink to Samba 3.0.20b for file and print sharing. Samba is installed on Solaris 9 (which I just recently inherited). Is there any way to tell if Samba was compiled with ACL support? I am having some trouble matching permissions from windows to Unix.

Not really, Mandrake 9.0 (and AFAIK, SuSE 8.1) support ACLs on Ext2/Ext3 out the box (if you use the 'acl' mount option). And of course samba is compiled with ACL support (not sure about SuSE again). Plus, Mandrake 9.0 has winbind support, you can join a domain during installation (in expert installs).

I agree with all you've said. You bring up the point of backups... xfsdump does support acls so there is nothing else to worry about when you make a backup brad -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

They also have a distinct advantage from my point of view -- they can be mounted as ordinary ext2 filesystems. This means, in a pinch, you can use ordinary rescue disks and recovery tools. I have nothing against XFS, though I haven't used it. Just presenting my own perspective. ext2 and ext3 ACLs do have the disadvantage that the on-disk format and in some cases the kernel interface is a moving target. Generally this hasn't been a problem for me, but it does mean you have to be careful if you upgrade to a newer version. Depending on the release number you sometimes have to use getfacl and setfacl to backup and then restore your ACLs (if the on-disk format has changed). The setfacl part of this procedure, in particular, can be time-consuming for big filesystems, especially if you use winbindd -- it took a few hours, last time I did it. Generally you want to be backing up the ACLs to flat files periodically anyway, since there aren't currently many backup tools that understand ACLs. If you're looking for an ACL-enabled filesystem that's built into a distribution, XFS is currently your only choice. If you want to use ext2 or ext3 ACL patches you'll need to patch and compile your own kernel and filesystem tools. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

[Samba] ACL support in Samba
Hi, I am new to samba server, I install it sucessfully and the smb server also work well. Now, I try to implement the ACL with similar to the ACL in windos 2000 server. However, I failed to implement it until file level, can someone guide me to implement me. regards, cksoo -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
