Do I need to patch ACL support into the Linux kernel just to allow users to change permissions on files hosted on the Samba 2.2.5 server? All I really need is to allow users to set read/write/execute on files. Right now, I don't have an ACL-patched kernel installed on the server. My users can see the security tab when they check the preferences on Samba-hosted files, but they can't change anything, even if they own the file. If the check or un-check a box, it just reverts back as soon as they click the Apply button. If I change the file perms using chmod at the server console, logged in as the user in question, it works fine... All users have Windows 2000 Pro (not sure what SP). Samba is authenticating to OpenLDAP, and I'm using nss_ldap. Here's the relevant section of smb.conf: [global] ldap server = localhost ldap port = 389 ldap suffix = "o=internet" ldap admin dn = "cn=Manager,o=internet" ldap ssl = no workgroup = IS netbios name = THOR server string = Thor File Server security = server dos filemode = yes encrypt passwords = Yes log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 0 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 dns proxy = No [private] comment = Private File Storage path = /usr/local/fileshare/home read only = No -- Jules Agee System Administrator Pacific Coast Feather Co. julesa@pcf.com x284

We have to translate the permissions back into posix rwx, but as long as the changes fit that, and the user can do it at the console, then it *should* work... You might want to try Samba 3.0, see if it's any better there. This may well be a bug.

So long as the users are only changing the u/g/w permissions Samba should reflect these onto the standard UNIX permissions. Jeremy.
