We have a Samba install connected up to LDAP and all works fine until we try to change the group on a file or directory and get permission denied (changing permissions works fine). The underlying filesystem does not know about POSIX ACLs and while I would have thought "acl schemes = unix" would do the trick, it doesn't seem to. Ideas? What I'm doing on the Windows side is: create a file properties->security->edit * select the group and remove it * select add and type in another group * click ok and get a permission denied error Environment: Linux 2.6.30.9 on Debian Lenny Samba 3.3.6 and 3.4.2 (both via Debian backports) Underlying filesystem is POSIX compliant but does not support the POSIX ACL draft.
