[Samba] Linux group permissions change not reflected by Samba 3
Hello, I am running Samba 3.0 as PDC. I am very satisfied with Samba. When changing group ownership via Linux command line of any file, those changes are not reflected by Samba, until smbd is restarted. I have find, that probably group_mapping.tdb is a place where Samba have cached those permissions mapping to Linux. This file is refreshed only when smbd is started. But I need to control user rights via Linux commands and need to have these rights accepted when users are accessing via Samba share. Unfortunatelly I cannot restart Samba each time I change permissions of some file, because this causes MS Access application crash, when have opened files from Samba shares. Is there any regular way how to tell smbd, that group permissions was changed? I try signals, but was unsuccessful. Maybe I am wrong in my smb.conf...? (is attached to this post) Thank you for any response or idea what to try...
