Hi Samba folks, let me first introduce myself. I'm the guy behind <acl.bestbits.at>, the Linux ACL patch. (The other patch at <http://aerobee.informatik.uni-bremen.de/acl_eng.html> seems pretty much history BTW). A lot of work has gone into that project; we're approaching a very stable release soon... Now people keep asking me over and over again about ACL suppor...

Hi. I want to use ACL on my RH-9.0 box (x86), so I got ext3 ACL patch from http://acl.bestbits.at/ and tried to apply it to the kernel that ships with RH (2.4.20-8). The patching fails on some vm file so I got a vanila kernel 2.4.20, apply the patch and compile it. This works fine. Also RH-9.0 precompiled Samba 2.2.7 works fine with ACL. I connected to my share with WinXP and do some testin...

...s I can't handle the volume of messages which I'm not concerned with. I would just like to be able to ask a question concerning the email subject and receive ONLY replys to that message. I'm not too familiar with mailman. So here goes the question. I have compiled kernel 2.4.17 with the bestbits ea and acl patches applied succesfully. I also installed the ea and acl utilities as well as patched fileutils ( I did use the redhat src.rpm fileutils package. I used all redhat included patches I could except two at the end which would not allow it to compile. ) Oh and I'm using redhat 7.2 wi...

...rnel). Eric Jarman <ejarman@acm.org> has contributed a lot to this effort. Since I'm not very much into the innards of ext3, can some of you please take a look at the patch, and see whether it contains any flaws (and tell me which flaws)? Thanks! The patch can be found at <http://acl.bestbits.at/>. Please direct discussions about EA/ACL stuff to me personally, and to acl-devel@bestbits.at. Acl-devel is a subscribers-only mailman list, to which you can subscribe from the web site. Cheers, Andreas.

Documentation/ext3.txt suggests that the "user_xattr" and "acl" mount options are on by default. This doesn't seem to be the case, as the kernel deduces the default mount options from the filesystem superblock, and mke2fs does not appear to write any default mount options there. This error was spotted by Jacques de Mer. Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd at

G'day... I've installed the acl - xatrrib patch from bestbits and it works nice on my RH9 system with Samba.. the only problem i encounter is that a file or directory losses it's extended atrributes when you copy it.. for example cp "--preserve=all /source /destination" preserves the normal acl af the linux system, but skips the acl/xattrib...

To all: I was wondering if there was any talk regarding the possible inclusion into either kernel 2.4.x or 2.5.x of a general and standard ACL interface for file system security. I've used the ACL patch from acl.bestbits.at on ext3 & love it dearly except for the quota issues. Despite those issues I absolutely could not live without ACL's on large file servers with a few hundred or thousand users. I understand and respect the fact that the ext3 team doubtless has many other concerns, and I am able to make...

Hi everyone. Can anyone please tell me where I can find the "acl-devel" package I've been reading about in the archives of this mailing list? If an rpm for RedHat 7.1 exists, that would be awesome. If there's only a .tar.gz, that's OK too. Thanx in advance! ---------------------------- Anthony (aslan@ispdr.net.au) ----------------------------

Hi! Has anyone got any "success story" or any good advice of using Posix ACLs (or Enhanced Attributes) with Samba? I'm using Debian woody with 2.4.22 linux, ext3fs and Samba 3. -- Pirkka

When doing ./configure --with-acl-support it gives me a message almost at the end of "checking whether to support ACLs... no". What am I missing??

Hi, I'm trying to setup a RedHat 8 fileserver, it must work seamlessly within our 2000/NT network. After some research, I believe the first thing I need to do is install ACL support. I tried doing this once, didn't go well, had to reinstall RedHat. What files do I need and from where, to install ACL support for RedHat 8?

I just join this list. Did anyone give a reply to this question? I have been struggling with this same problem. Sam Aylestock Sr. Network Administrator TREEV(r) Proven Solutions . Real Results .(tm) Tel: 703-904-3139 http://www.treev.com/

...stall the machine into my company W2k domain using winbind but my Linux kernel does not support the needed ACls. I Does the latest Linux kernel come with ACL support and if so should I just update the kernel to 2.4.19 which I think is the latest production quality kernel? The ACL patches at www.bestbits.at list patches for kernels 2.4.19, 2.4.18, 2.4.17, 2.2.20 but not my 2.4.7-10. Does that mean the patches for 2.4.7-10 are not available or just should not be attempted?

Hi there! I have a Samba 2.2.2 PDC on linux 2.4.13 with ACL (acl.bestbits.at) support installed. There seems to be a problem with Roaming Profiles. Win2k with local NTFS filesystem will never delete roaming profiles (yes, I have regedited the DeleteRoamingCache to 1). In fact, any time TheUser logs back in, a new folder named TheUser.OURDOMAIN.??? (where ? is an integer)...

I tried running ext3 with posix acls (see http://acl.bestbits.at). The patches were easily merged and everything compiled fine. I created a journal.dat on my /home fs and mounted it as ext3. So far everything worked perfectly. But getfacl/setfacl didn't work on ext3. Mounting /home as ext2 solved the problem. Maybe ext3 and ext2 don't share enough co...

Which filesystem supports ACL? Ext2/ext3 with the acl.bestbits.at patch, XFS and what other? Does 2.4.18 supports XFS or do you need a patch for it? What about ACL on XFS? Do you need a patch? Is there any filesystem that supports ACL, that the kernel supports without patches? Any place I can find a comparison of different filesystems with advantage and disadv...

Hi ! I would like to setup ACL on my RH7.2 box to be able to set/check permissions on SMB shares (linux-samba and win2k). Which file system type to use: XFS, DFS ? Which one is the best recommanded for my configuration ? Regards.

Hi, I've a problem in running configure for samba 2.2.5. I'm using redhat 7.3, with ACL support from http://acl.bestbits.at/. I've tested that the ACL is working on the filesystem, and samba can find it too. Here's the error: checking if large file support can be enabled... yes checking whether to support ACLs... checking for acl_get_file in -lacl... yes checking for ACL support... yes Using posix ACLs ch...
