[Samba] Map ACL Inherit affecting directories, not files
I've been experimenting with the Map ACL Inherit = yes parameter along with Posix ACLs and found some odd behavior. Within Windows XP I create a directory, Level1, and set Full Control permissions to a group, TestGroup. I then create a directory underneath Level1, Level2. I also create a file within Level1, test.txt. I then go back and change the permissions that TestGroup has to Level1 to Read (only). The Level2 directory has its permissions changed appropriately, such that TestGroup has Read (only) permissions to it. However, test.txt isn't changed; its permissions remain Full Control. Is the Map ACL Inherit = yes parameter supposed to only affect directories or should it also affect files? Edward L. Hannaford
