Hi all, I am experimenting with samba 4. I have existing data on NTFS partition and want to share them via samba. But I have problems with permissions (ACL). There is an option: ntvfs handler that tells how mapping of permissions between unix and windows world shall behave. But there is lack of documentation. So I tried posix, simiple but in either case I wasnot able to write even set permissions via GUI from windows client. So I would like to ask if somebody knows where could I read something about this topic or if there is a guru that knows how this thing work, please could you share you knowledge? Thanks a lot, Vasek

I have never tried serving files from an NTFS filesystem. Does the Linux NTFS filesystem driver (ntfs3g?) allow reading/setting the ACLs? I've copied my reply to samba-technical in case someone there knows the answer. -- Michael Wood <esiotrot at gmail.com>
Hi, why do you need this linux-windows mapping? On samba3 this could only be made by winbind or ldapclient. I think the same way you would succeed with samba4. Samba4 has his own cldap running by pointing your ldapclient on linux to the cladp I think you could make it work. ----------------------------------------------- EDV Daniel M?ller Leitung EDV Tropenklinik Paul-Lechler-Krankenhaus Paul-Lechler-Str. 24 72076 T?bingen Tel.: 07071/206-463, Fax: 07071/206-499 eMail: mueller at tropenklinik.de Internet: www.tropenklinik.de ----------------------------------------------- -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- Von: samba-bounces at lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-bounces at lists.samba.org] Im Auftrag von Vaclav Klecanda Gesendet: Montag, 18.
