Hi all, I have a 2.2.7a member server (on Debian unstable), acting as a file server for a W2k domain (which also has some NT4 clients, ie. mixed mode). I'm also using ACLs. Imagine I have a file on the server with an ownership of DOMAIN+foo (full permission - rwx). I also have a user ACL on that file of DOMAIN+bar, also rwx. This all works fine. I was initially running into a problem whereby DOMAIN+bar could not "take ownership" of the file ("Access denied"). However, I found the "dos filemodes" option in smb.conf, and that is now working as expected. Problem is, if I have the same scenario for a directory, it doesn't work (also Access denied). I managed to grab some debug=10 logs, and here's the relevant snippet: --- LOG BEGINS --- [2003/01/09 12:24:52, 10] smbd/posix_acls.c:set_nt_acl(2177) set_nt_acl: called for file Corp Services/mytestdir [2003/01/09 12:24:52, 5] smbd/posix_acls.c:unpack_nt_owners(433) unpack_nt_owners: validating owner_sids.

The man page entry for "dos filemodes" is fairly clear that it _should_ work for directories too. Any ideas? Is this a bug in Samba? (Should it be on samba-technical?) TIA Andrew [ PS. For those of you waiting for my script to set ACLs automagically, never fear; I haven't forgotten, I just haven't had a chance to post it anywhere.
