4.0.6 file server for a 4.0.6 domain, reproducible with a 3.6.12, and 3.6.15 file server. File created in a share are created according to the acl set, but not when mounted by cifs: Here is a share [test] read only = No path = /home/test Here is the acl: getfacl test # file: test # owner: root # group: staff2 # flags: -s- user::rwx group::rwx other::r-x default:user::rwx default:group::rwx default:other::r-x Here is a session on the unmounted share on the file server, all as expected: steve2 at altea:/home/test> touch steve2.txt steve2 at altea:/home/test> ls -l total 0 -rw-rw-r-- 1 steve2 staff2 0 Jun 2 10:58 steve2.txt steve2 at altea:/home/test> getfacl steve2.txt # file: steve2.txt # owner: steve2 # group: staff2 user::rw- group::rw- other::r-- Now the same session on a client with the share mounted: catral:/home/steve # mount -t cifs //altea/test /mnt -osec=krb5,username=cifs,multiuser catral:/home/steve # exit exit steve at catral:~> su steve2 Contrase?a: steve2 at catral:/home/steve> cd /mnt steve2 at catral:/mnt> touch steve22.txt steve2 at catral:/mnt> ls -l total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 steve2 staff2 0 jun 2 11:18 steve22.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 steve2 staff2 0 jun 2 10:58 steve2.txt steve2 at catral:/mnt> getfacl steve22.txt # file: steve22.txt # owner: steve2 # group: staff2 user::rw- group::r-- other::r-- steve2 at catral:/mnt> mount | grep mnt //altea/test on /mnt type cifs (rw,relatime,vers=1.0,sec=krb5,cache=strict,unc=\\altea \test,multiuser,uid=0,noforceuid,gid=0,noforcegid,addr=192.168.1.100,unix,posixpaths,serverino,acl,noperm,rsize=1048576,wsize=65536,actimeo=1) Note how the acl is ignored by cifs. Question: Does cifs honour acls set on ext4 filesystems with acl,usr_xattr? Must I use smb.conf to control permssions and acl? Thanks, Steve
