Hi Version 4.1.0pre1-GIT-957f9fa openSUSE 12.2 After running samba-tool ntaclreset These are the ACE's produced: getfacl sysvol/ # file: sysvol/ # owner: root # group: wheel # flags: s-- user::rwx user:root:rwx group::r-- group:wheel:r-- group:3000000:r-- group:3000001:r-- group:3000002:r-- mask::rwx other::--- I got the group names from wbinfo. The group numbers correspond to: 3000000 BUILTIN\Server Operators 4 3000001 NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM 5 3000002 NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users 5 Problem: GPO's do not work. I think this is due to the r-- only ACE. Users, authenticated or not do not have access to sysvol to be able to read the GPO's because of the r-- I changed the ACL by adding an r-x and rwx after comparing what a working installation on Ubuntu gave: # file: usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol/ # owner: root # group: wheel # flags: s-- user::rwx user:root:rwx group::r-x group:wheel:r-x group:3000000:r-x group:3000001:rwx group:3000002:r-x mask::rwx other::r-x default:user::rwx default:group::r-x default:group:3000000:r-x default:group:3000001:rwx default:group:3000002:r-x default:mask::rwx default:other::--- and now the GPO's work again. However, running sysvolreset returns the ACL to the r-- state. I tested this on Ubuntu where sysvolreset works fine, producing r-x and rwx ACE's in the correct place. I think the problem must be distro specific. Works for Ubuntu, not for openSUSE. Is there something in the script which makes it distro dependent? I notice Ubuntu uses different owning groups (adm Ubuntu, wheel, openSUSE)? Cheers, Steve
