File on SAMBA with 664 permissions, UserA and GroupA - No Extended ACLS. -rw-rw-r-- 1 b321972 sysadmin 4 Mar 13 09:35 junk1.txt UserB open's this document in Word 2000 (under Win2K) and Saves. Extended ACLS are set AND owner is changed... -rw-rwxr--+ 1 b432291 sysadmin 10 Mar 13 09:36 junk1.txt # file: junk1.txt # owner: b432291 # group: sysadmin user::rw- user:b321972:rw- group::rw- class:rwx other:r-- ----------------------- What can I do (short of "nt acl support = no") to stop the setting of extended ACL's (the + on the ll & user:b321972:rw- entry)? I need acl support to show file owner's in explorer. Not really concerned about the change of ownership...
