Hi all- I have Redhat 7.1 running with Samba 2.2.1a. Where can I get an ACL package supported by Samba? Also, can the setting of ACL permissions be done with the Windows 2000 interface? The current functionality of setting the file permissions does not work in Win2k. One last question, is there a searchable archive of this list? Cheers, -Bill ---- Bill Town Kontiki, Inc.

Hello, You will need a patched kernel for acl support. Look at http://acl.bestbits.at. Then you can set permissions from a w2k client normally.

Bill, The file permission setting in 2000 is limited to the corresponding ones in Unix - ie user/group/world. You can therefore play with those but you cannot, for instance, have mulitple combinations of groups/users. It is a little restrictive but should change with ext3. Also, in most cases file permissions beyond the unix ones are not necessary - and any others can be handled with the 'valid user/group=' smb.conf parameter. To get ACLs wokring you need to compile with --with-acl option. Seehttp://www.bibsyst.no/samba/docs/ for more info.

Hello, I had a samba 2.2.2-pre built with acl support, running on a rh 7.1-2.4.9 patched kernel and ext2 filesystem. ACLs were fine, just like Windows ones. I was able to set permissions for several users/groups (beyond user/group/world of unix), all thru windows 2000 clients. Worked like a charm, but I had to stop using acls because I needed quotas, and they don't work that well on linus 2.4.x kernels... So I had to get back to valid users... :( cheers Gustavo -----Original Message----- From: Noel Kelly [mailto:nkelly@tarsus.co.uk] Sent: sexta-feira, 5 de outubro de 2001 16:31 To: 'Bill Town' Cc: 'samba@lists.samba.org' Subject: RE: ACL and Redhat Bill, The file permission setting in 2000 is limited to the corresponding ones in Unix - ie user/group/world.

Gustavo - Just saw your (far better) answer to Bill's question. This ACL patch - have you used it in anger ? I have been looking for this but am a little reticent to use it on production servers if it is still experimental. Is it up to it ?

Hi, I can't tell you I used it in production, because I was only testing (actually I am still testing, looking for the best solution for my company). I've seen places using acls in production systems, although it is not very common yet. For the places I have seen it working, I haven't heard of problems nor complaints. Also, most backup solutions won't recognize the files acls (although there's an application that will backup all acls to one file, then you can backup this one file). If I were you, I would do some heavy testing before putting acls into production. cheers Gustavo -----Original Message----- From: Noel Kelly [mailto:nkelly@tarsus.co.uk] Sent: sexta-feira, 5 de outubro de 2001 16:47 To: Michels, Gustavo [EES/BR] Cc: 'samba@lists.samba.org' Subject: RE: ACL and Redhat Gustavo - Just saw your (far better) answer to Bill's question.

Hi Anthony, Well, I guess my hardware raid was not supported until 2.4, but that's something I really have to check. Also, I don't feel that good in downgrading my kernel :) cheers Gustavo -----Original Message----- From: Anthony J.
