Hi all,
I'm planning a migration from Sun Microsystems' PCNetLink CIFS service
to
Samba and have a problem I cannot solve:
Is there a possibility to map Windows ACLs to reflect the following:
We have user groups with their own group directories. We need to provide
some users in their group directories the ability to
read/create/modify/remove files, but they must not be able to change
permissions on the files/directories. In particular they must not take
ownership of files they are not owners of.
I've tried to test this using Samba 3.0.10 on Solaris 9 and compiled with
--with-acl-support. The configuration for my test share has the following
ACL relevant settings:
security mask = 0777
force security mode = 0
directory security mask = 0777
force directory security mask = 0
But, if I try to set the following permissions (all except Full Control):
Modify,
Read & Execute
List Folder Contents
Read
Write
using Windows Explorer connected to the share on a subdirectory of the
share, I get 777 on UNIX file system and my Windows client sees 'full
access'.
I'd be glad if anybody could confirm if the situation described above is
normal Samba behavior or not and if my problem can be solved at all (using
Samba).
Thanks in advance
Best regards,
Daniel
