Somewhere between Samba 4.2.10 and 4.6.2 (came with CentOS 7 updates)
the setgid bit is not inherited anymore when making directories via my
Samba service. Everything else is still fine. With ssh direct on the
file system or sftp, i get all permissions and acls inherited nicely.
Also with Samba all acls are still just fine, except that setgid bit is
not inherited (s on the group executable bit becomes an x), so
subsequent directories and files have the wrong group.
To test, i made a minimal share definition:
[global]
unix extensions = no
map archive = no
map hidden = no
map read only = no
map system = no
store dos attributes = yes
[test]
comment = Test
path = /var/test
writable = yes
inherit permissions = yes
The smb.conf reference says about "inherit permissions": New
directories
inherit the mode of the parent directory, including bits such as setgid.
Well, this is obviously not true anymore. The setgid bit is not even
inherited in this minimal share definition. Do do i need to add other
parameters to force setgid to inherit?
The setup is standalone and the file system is ext4 on a kvm guest.
Thanks for any information on this.
Kind regards, Vincent
