Hi, I've noticed the following ACL problem in a newly created subfolder: Let a folder have full rights for the owner, no rights for the primary group, no rights for everyone, no further rights defined. Add, from WinXP, an ACL for another user with Read&Execute rights and the option "This folder only". Now create a subfolder: in the new subfolder, the parent group has "Full control" although it had no rights in the parent. In the log I can find the entry change_dir_owner_to_parent: device/inode/mode on directory ... changed. Refusing to chown ! Happens with Samba 3.2.7, 3.3.5, 3.3.6 (no other versions tested) Details on this are in https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6507 Peter Rindfuss
