Hi, I am new to this list. Does samba 3 support ntfs permissions or a way to map them? Creating a share for a user is easy but can you set different file permissions in that share with separate ntfs permissions to give different users permission to different areas of the share? This is on an Active Directory network. Thank you. PS: We are trying to save the state of Wisconsin some money by replacing our Win 2000 file servers with samba servers!

Hi Samba 3 now supports ACLs, it can either use POSIX ACL (kernel level) or a built-in engine (Correct me if I am wrong) Using the builtin one, I heard many reports of people login in the domain as admins and setting the permissions using the windows file security dialog box. Note that you must compile Samba w/acls to enable this feature.

This will allow you to do what you need.> PS: We are trying to save the state of Wisconsin some money by replacing our > Win 2000 file servers with samba servers!Think of the taxpayers ! Convert the desktops to Linux also, then you won't need the Samba servers :-). Jeremy.
