samba - Oct 2001 - Using ACLs with Samba 2.2.2 on a 2.4.10 Kernel

Hello out there again!

I have a problem with ACLs: I build Samba 2.2.2 with ACL support. ACLs are 
0.7.21 (from acl.bestbits.at) on a 2.4.10 Kernel. ACLs are working fine 
within Linux. When I connect to a Samba share from a Windows NT Workstation 
or Server, I only see the three standard acls representing world, group and 
owner. I have several files with acls for testing but non of this acls is 
seen from the remote Windows machine. Adding acls from Windows also doesn't 
work (no access).

When building Samba capabiltiy.h made a lot of definition errors. So I 
disabled capability.h for building - maybe this is the reason for my 
problems - but I have no idea for what capability.h is used :-o

My next step probably will be to use a 2.2.19 Kernel. But before - maybe 
somebody know what's going wrong.

Regards
Manfred

Basically I'd guess that the problem is one of:
a) you don't have a libacl.* in /usr/lib
b) you didn't add the --with-acl-support to you ./configure line
c) you ran ./configure before you built the acl utils.

As you've probably noticed there are new versions of ACL patches and utils
out
now.  I'm yet to try them with samba BUT I will soon.  I suggest you look
again at building ACL support on your system.


Yours Tony.
