[Samba] Can add users to ACL for a file on Win7 Security Dialog, but not WinXP??
Hi there - I have a Samba server running on Ubuntu, in security = user mode, with 3 users who have had smbpasswd run to enable them as samba users: brucem, carols, brigito. I have also enabled ACLs on the Ubuntu filesystem. On Windows XP, if I access the share and right click on a file, properties, security - I see the correct owner (SERVERNAME\brucem) - however if I try to "Add" and then type carols or SERVERNAME\carols - I get "name not found" (it first asks me to enter the username and password of someone with permissions on the server - I have tried brucem, carols, and root) However, when I apply the same process on Win7, it works perfectly. Any ideas why??? Thanks Bruce

Sorry, solved this - the Win XP box needed a reboot after users were added to the Ubuntu box...
