[Samba] Can't use Win BUILTIN\Administrators as owner copy from NT to Linux
Hi, we're trying to use Robocopy to copy data from a NT share to a Linux share. We use the option "O" (Ownership) and get's "access denied" when the Ownership is "Administrators" in the source directory we're trying to copy. If we omit the option "O" and just use the options "/copy:datsu" the Robocopy will work. But, the Ownership for the destination directory will be the same as the id mapping the Linux share, and if the group "Backup Operators" is in the permissionlist for the source directory it will be dropped in the Linux share. I believe that the "Administrators" and the "Backup Operators" are dropped because they belong to the "BUILTIN" group in NT and Samba is not able to "see" them. Try the "wbinfo -u" to have a check. As Samba can't see the BUILTIN group then, tell me if I'm wrong here, Linux is not able to set the "SETFACL"-command against the destination file/directory. Now to my question, is it possible to let Samba or Winbind to see the BUILTIN groups member or can I create a "BUILTIN\Administrators" id in Linux to do a bypass? Maybe there's another way to do a work around, please let me know. Best Regards Bertil Starck
