Hi, I was hoping someone could help me out just point me in the correct directions as to what I am going wrong. I have Samba 2.2.3a installed and configured with winbind for domain authentication using an ext3 file system with ACL support. It is working great! The problem that I am experiencing is I would like to use an application like "xcopy" to propagate the ACL permissions to the samba server from one of our w2k DFS servers. I have added a domain admin user to the "admin user =" string so that they can create file as root so they should be able to do anything! The admin user is able to authenticate to the Samba server and create the directory using "xcopy" but when they attempt to change the permissions I get "access denied" with this in my samba.log file. I AM able to use ACL through the samba shares to change permissions manually but when I attempt to use xcopy to transfer the permissions automatically here is when I receive. <snip> [2002/03/01 09:32:34, 3] smbd/nttrans.c:call_nt_transact_set_security_desc(1732) call_nt_transact_set_security_desc: file = infosystems, sent 0x80000007 [2002/03/01 09:32:34, 3] smbd/posix_acls.c:unpack_nt_owners(443) unpack_nt_owners: unable to validate owner sid.
