I did search and found other folks with this issue but I didn't see a solution to my specific issue: I am running Samba 3.4.7 on ubuntu 10.04 LTS server configured to authenticate to active directory via Kerberos and LDAP for use with clients from OS X and Windows (no linux clients) On the advice of my local active directory team Winbind has been uninstalled and everything works nicely except except for not being able to set ACLs from the windows properties security tab. When I add a new user it shows fine in the security tab until I press apply at which point the newly added user disappears and the on the samba server the log shows: smbd/posix_acls.c:1711(create_canon_ace_lists) create_canon_ace_lists: unable to map SID S-1-5-21-503695880-695175589-3595387526-10512 to uid or gid. I can set and get ACLs from linux command line on the samba share files OK using setfacl and getfacl and those settings can be seen OK in the windows properties security tab and I have all the recommended ACL settings in smb.conf. getent passwd and getentgroup return the AD groups and users correctly. I read a mention of something similar here: http://help.lockergnome.com/linux/Samba-Samba-LDAP-error-windows-xp-ACL--ftopict509241.html but it is not clear to me from my searches or reading the documents on http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/<http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/AccessControls.html#id2613465> if I must have winbind enabled to allow setting ACLs from windows. Is winbind required for setting ACLs from windows? Here's my smb.conf for reference: [global] unix extensions = no disable spoolss = Yes name resolve order = hosts workgroup = AD realm = AD.MYDOMAIN server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu) dns proxy = no log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 1000 syslog = 0 log level = 0 logon home = "" logon path = "" panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d security = ads encrypt passwords = true passdb backend = tdbsam obey pam restrictions = yes unix password sync = yes pam password change = no map to guest = bad user usershare allow guests = no [asgs] comment = ASGS path = /shares/asgs browsable = Yes valid users = @ad\ASGSFileUsers write list = @ad\ASGSFileUsers create mask = 2660 force create mode = 0660 directory mask = 2770 force directory mode = 0770 and here's nsswitch.conf passwd: files ldap group: files ldap shadow: files ldap hosts: files dns networks: files protocols: db files services: db files ethers: db files rpc: db files netgroup: nis and my pam.d/samba @include common-auth @include common-account @include common-session auth required pam_unix.so nullok_secure auth sufficient pam_krb5.so minimum_uid=1000 use_first_pass account sufficient pam_ldap.so use_first_pass session sufficient pam_ldap.so Thanks for your insight.
