Hi, I recently rebuilt my Domain controller and after working on it it seems that file permissions with the new Samba file server are not the same, and I'm wondering if this is expected. If I do this in smb.conf: server services = +smb -dns -s3fs dcerpc endpoint servers = +winreg +srvsvc Then when a windows users creates a file using samba on my server then the files are created using that users, uid. If I remove those lines (excep the -dns) when the windows users create the file it is created with a uid of 300000: middleearth:/home/samba/public$ ls -l total 503608 ... drwxr-sr-x 2 dumaresq users 4096 Dec 8 11:47 New folder drwxrwsrwx+ 2 3000000 users 4096 Dec 8 11:55 New folder (2) ... The first file was created with server services = +smb -dns -s3fs dcerpc endpoint servers = +winreg +srvsvc with just -dns. I am wondering if this is expected, is the new way to create a file that nobody owns and then change the ACLs so the correct people have access, or is something wrong with my setup? Thanks
