Hi all, we are experiencing difficulties with posix ACLs using samba 3.0.28 on a Debian 4.0 etch server. The goal is to not let the Windows clients manage the ACLs but instead set the permissions from the Samba server, hence smb.conf says "nt acl support no". Problems arise when I have a directory with default permissions for a named group, e.g. # file: ACLTest # owner: juergen # group: users user::rwx group::rwx group:msr-systems:r-x mask::rwx other::--- default:user::rwx default:group::rwx default:group:msr-systems:r-x default:mask::rwx default:other::--- When user juergen creates a file within directory ACLTest I would expect it to have user::rw- group::rwx #effective:rw- group:msr-systems:r-x #effective:r-- mask::rw- other::--- But what the files get instead is user::rw- group::rw- group:msr-systems:r-x mask::rwx other::rw- What is Samba doing here? It can't be the Windows client, because nt acl support is disabled, right? I mean, when there are no posix ACLs in the file system standard ugo perms/suid/sgid always behave as you would expect from Linux. -- Juergen Beurskens
