I wish to realize a file-server with SAMBA integrated in my network domain (Windows NT4 PDC). To manage the user access for each share in the Samba file-server, I would use Active Control Lists. Anyone can tell me - what type and version of Linux is best for my purpose ? - what Samba version is best to use ? Thanks. Marco

You have to use Samba 304, because it is the productivity release. matze
Hi Marco, Here's what I've learned over the past few days setting something similar up: 1) The 2.6 series kernel supports ACLs on ext3, xfs and other filing systems. 2.4 can support them if you install the "bestbits" patches. 2) Samba 3 seems to work pretty well with ACLs, but that's the only version I've used. If you're interested, my setup is Samba 3.0.4 on Fedora Core 2 using yum to update the kernel and it works fine.

Keep in mind that if you are using Share Level ACL's, you do not need to update your kernel. You only need to update your kernel if you want to use file level (Posix) ACL's. You can set Share level ACL's with the NT Server Manager tool. No reason not to use the latest production version of Samba that I can think of.
