Dear Rowland,
Thanks for the hint, it sounds like I should get rid of the line
"acl_xattr:ignore system acls = yes" in smb.conf. I think I read
that there was a change in its meaning, around version 4.5 or so.
Thanks, this gives me something to experiment with.
Could you please tell me what I would "lose" if I also dropped the
"vfs objects = acl_xattr" line? I do not remember why I have it there.
Thanks, Paul
