[Samba] Preserve Windows File permissions with extended attributes under Samba 3.6
I have successfully compiled and installed Samba 3.6 with extended attributes enabled (ext4 partition) to preserve the Windows XP file create/modified dates. With that problem solved, I want to control the file permissions in order to preserve Windows file access controls when copied to the Samba share. With extended attributes enabled as described above, can I also store the permissions information? What is a good reference for ACL manipulation? On a related note, how should fstab be configured to preserve the user permission on files copied to the share? I can provide my current fstab and Samba configuration if it would help. Though it is fairly basic. Derek
