Hi all, If I want to use a server as a stand alone without Winbind etc in theory this is very simple, however in practice I see such issues as, I cannot modify permission from the client and standard file permissions are ignored and superceeded by Linux file ACLs. Without changing the whole config to a DC/domain (which I know is considered the normal install) can I resolve either or both of these issues? To illustrate the ACL issue, when a user has created a file the Unix permisions are 770 where group is projectes, however users in projects only receive read access when accessing the file via samba, which I assume is due to the acl on the file: # file: resumenCertificacionesSO_4.xlsx # owner: amoyano # group: projectes user::rwx user:amoyano:rwx group::r-- group:staff:r-- mask::rwx other::r-- Can I have Samba use only standard Unix permissions and ignore the ACL? NT ACL option looks like it completely disables file permission support so isnt what Im after. Thanks for any help, Andy.
