[Samba] permissions acls directories inheritance windows samba
Hi: Environment:rhel4 + samba 3.0.25b + winbind. Authentication and authorisation via Windows active directory. I just want to make sure of something, if someone can confirm my thinking below, that would be great .The problem we are having is when windows or mac users copy files to the samba server - the destination file permissions have the source file permissions. What I want to happen is that whenever a mac or window user copies a file to a folder on the samba server, the destination file should inherit the ugo and acls of the parent directory on the samba server rather than inheriting the permissions from the source file. Similiarly when a directory is created on the samba server from a windows or mac client it should also inherit the permissions and acls of its parent directory. It would seem that in smb.conf the appropriate parameters to set are (see below). Can someone confirm this is the case and if not how should I make copied files inherit parent directory permissions and acls. ----------------------------------- inherit acls = yes inherit permissions = yes ----------------------------------- Thanks Mark
