Hi! Has anyone got any "success story" or any good advice of using Posix ACLs (or Enhanced Attributes) with Samba? I'm using Debian woody with 2.4.22 linux, ext3fs and Samba 3. -- Pirkka

You may need to patch/recomplile your kernel to enable Posix ACLs/EAs, then for ext2/3 fs you need the acl mount option. And last but not least after installing all the userland aplications and development libraries you may need to recompile samba to have acl support, you could watch the configure mscript if it finds the acl libraries. Good Luck!

I'm using Debian woody > with 2.4.22 > linux, ext3fs and Samba 3.I've been playing with this on Debian Woody, with an eye towards eventually replacing our RedHat 7.0 server. Unfortunately the stuff on bestbits.at is a touch RedHat-centric at times. Patching and compiling the kernel works just like it does under RedHat, of course. The libacl, acl, libacl-devel, libattr, attr, and libattr-devel RPMs from bestbits install cleanly with "alien". Samba compiles fine with ACL support and winbind if you do "./configure --with-acl-support --with-winbind". The only thing I haven't figured out yet is coreutils. *Don't* try to use the coreutils RPM from bestbits; it will break a Debian system. Fortunately for my application ACL support in coreutils isn't strictly necessary.
