Hello, This might be a classic problem, bit I seem unable to find a solution to it. Before I elaborate on the problem I first give you the relevant bits of my smb.conf: [global] map acl inherit = Yes [CityMarketing] comment = City Marketing path = /var/samba/Aub/City Marketing read only = No As you can see I am using acls. Now when a user saves a new file or overwrites an old file, the acls of the parent do not seem to get inherited: the user gets all the permission and resets all rights for the group so disabling editing by the group. What should I change to resolve this? Regards, Bolke
