Hi, I'm settin up a member Server in a samba domain. (both 3.0.24) getent passwd/group shows all user and groups wbinfo -u/g shows user and groups net groupmap list shows all groups correctly Here's the testparm output: Server role: ROLE_DOMAIN_MEMBER [global] workgroup = AAG server string = FILES (%v) security = DOMAIN password server = 192.168.100.72 passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://192.168.100.72/ log level = 10 log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log name resolve order = host wins bcast deadtime = 15 keepalive = 0 load printers = No preferred master = No local master = No domain master = No wins server = 192.168.100.72 ldap admin dn = cn=admin,dc=aag ldap group suffix = ou=groups ldap idmap suffix = ou=idmap ldap machine suffix = ou=computers ldap suffix = dc=aag ldap user suffix = ou=users panic action = /etc/samba/panic-action %d idmap backend = ldap:ldap://erde.aag idmap uid = 10000-20000 idmap gid = 10000-20000 winbind enum users = Yes winbind enum groups = Yes winbind use default domain = Yes winbind trusted domains only = Yes read only = No create mask = 0770 force create mode = 0770 directory mask = 0770 force directory mode = 0770 inherit acls = Yes map acl inherit = Yes strict sync = Yes sync always = Yes use sendfile = Yes veto oplock files = /*.mdb/ delete readonly = Yes dos filemode = Yes msdfs root = No [Homes] path = /userdata/%S invalid users = root, admin, bin, daemon, sys, sync, lp, mail, news, uucp, proxy, www-data, backup, irc, sshd, man, identd, bacula, nobody, Debian-exim create mask = 0700 directory mask = 0700 browseable = No Then all the shares.... ACLS are enabled in fstab I have /groupdata with all groupshares and /userdata for homes. /groupdata is actually owned by me.domain_admins I can set acls from linux with setfacl -R -d -m g:group:rwx folder unfortunately I cannot change permissions from windows, not as domain-root nor as me even if I am in the domain_admins group and privileges are activated I get a permission denied message. I also don't see the acls I set for "group" under windows even if linux shows them correctly. I'm afraid it is something very stupid I don't see, but I would be very gratefull if somebody could point me to the error. Please let me know what logs I should append tia, Angela
