Hi there, I'm having a problem changing permissions on a file on an Active Directory connected Samba server (using Samba 3.0 alpha 23 with ACL support enabled) as the Administrator of the domain. Here is the output of chacl for the file: brndlog.txt [u::rwx,u:Administrator:rwx,u:10008:rwx,u:stacey:rwx,g::r--,m::rwx,o::r- -] And ls -l: -rwxrwxr--+ 1 stacey Hosting User Group 4925 04-29 10:59 brndlog.txt The settings for the share are as follows: -------- snip --------- [userprofiles] comment = User Profiles path = /userprofiles public = yes writable = yes admin users = DOMAIN\Administrator -------- snip --------- I was under the impression that anyone accessing files on the share as a user specified as an "admin user" would be acting as root and therefore would have no trouble changing permissions on the file (and indeed, taking ownership). Also, Administrator appears to have "Full Control" on the file anyway. Any ideas?
