I have installed Samba-3.0 beta1 and accomplished a migration from an W2k mixed mode DC. Except for some trouble with winbind, with i solved by hacking a bit in the LDAP directory ( manually assigning UIDs and GIDs ), everything is fine now. Thanks Samba Team for a good work, keep improving ;) A couple of weeks ago i asked about ACL support, and was answered that "full control" was given by an RWX entry in ACLs. Today, while changing permissions on a file, we have verified that the capability of giving permission to others over a file is restricted to that file's owner ( i was told otherwise ). System: Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 "Woody" + some packages from SID Kernel: Linux-2.4.21 + LVM1.0.7 + xfs1.2 Samba: Samba-3.0.0.beta1-2 from Debian's 'unstable' LDAP: OpenLDAP-2.1.21 from Debian's 'unstable' Additional info: setfacl and getfacl work properly, changing permissions from windows' "Security" Tab works provided the user changing them is the object's owner. Question 1: How can I make some user have "full control" over a directory or a file ( from the Windows side, if possible ) ? I can just chown from the Linux side and let the user do things, but that user won't be able to delegate full control to another user without my intervention :-| Question 2: Is there any workaround for this? Plans to implement it ? Any information on this would be much appreciated. I was told there was a patch for Samba-2.2.x that implemented full NT semantics for Samba, but it has not been ported to Samba-3 (yet?). Thanks in advance. Best, J.L.
