Hello,
I believe I found a bug with samba. I'm running 2.2.8a on a Solaris 8
machine. I notice that if I have a parent directory with an ACL like:
--- snip of acl from parent directory ---
# file: testing/
# owner: loughlin
# group: other
user::rwx
user:loughlin:rwx #effective:rwx
user:dannytest:rwx #effective:rwx
group::r-x #effective:r-x
mask:rwx
other:r-x
default:user::rwx
default:user:loughlin:rwx
default:user:dannytest:rwx
default:group::r-x
default:mask:rwx
default:other:r-x
When I create a subfolder within the parent in Unix I get the correct
results:
# file: sub/
# owner: loughlin
# group: other
user::rwx
user:loughlin:rwx #effective:rwx
user:dannytest:rwx #effective:rwx
group::r-x #effective:r-x
mask:rwx
other:r-x
default:user::rwx
default:user:loughlin:rwx
default:user:dannytest:rwx
default:group::r-x
default:mask:rwx
default:other:r-x
However, when I map my share and create a subfolder in the parent I get
the following ACLs:
# file: sub2/
# owner: loughlin
# group: staff
user::rwx
user:loughlin:rwx #effective:r-x
user:dannytest:rwx #effective:r-x
group::r-x #effective:r-x
mask:r-x
other:r-x
default:user::rwx
default:user:loughlin:rwx
default:user:dannytest:rwx
default:group::r-x
default:mask:rwx
default:other:r-x
Notice that the mask gets changed...
Here is a snip of my smb.conf for this share:
[testing]
path = /home/e121/loughlin/testing
username = loughlin, dannytest
valid users = loughlin, dannytest
read list = loughlin, dannytest
write list = loughlin, dannytest
read only = No
inherit permissions = Yes
inherit acls = Yes
The work around is to create an acl with a group id (ie group:other:rwx)
and give it the value of the mask. Then add "force group = other" to
the
entry in smb.conf.
