[Samba] Error copying permissions from Samba server
Hi all, I'm attempting to migrate some files off a samba server onto a network appliance server. Currently we're in a win2k domain with AD, the samba server is 3.0.0 running on redhat 9. The samba is a member of the Win2k domain. What I'm attempting to do is migrate some files from the samba server to a network appliance, and for areas which are going to be used only by windows folks, I want to use NT permissions on the netapp. I'm attempting to use "robocopy" on a windows machine to copy the files with translated permissions from the samba server to the network appliance, but it's failing with the error: "The security descriptor structure is invalid." I think this is because Samba is translating all the unix users to samba-server-local accounts, instead of mapping them to their matching domain accounts; i.e. my domain name is "DOMAINX", my samba server name is "HOSTY", when I mount the samba share on a windows box in the domain, right click and examine properties, I see "HOSTY\username" for all the permissions instead of seeing "DOMAINX\username". Is there any way to get this to work the way I want? --Ross
