This might be more inclusive if I said, Linux Permissions vs POSIX ACLs vs vfs_xattr. I have recently begun to discover the power and flexibility of using POSIX ACLs (by mounting my EXT3/4 filesystems with the acl option). This solved alot of security permissions issues between Samba and Linux groups of users. As I have delved into this deeper and begun using the VFS object, vfs_x...

...server or namespace]\[the link] [group|user]:RXW protect'. That's also available in dfsmgmt.msc on a folder's properties. I thought of the "hide unreadable" option, but it only works on files and directories, not symlinks (no surprise as symlinks are 777). My last idea was vfs_xattr, but it does not help either. I tried to force xattr to symlinks via 'setfattr -h -n security.NTACL -v ... [file]' and hoped it would be evaluated for the symlink by samba - that doesn't seem to be the case. As dfs-symlinks are resolved by the client, the linked share's rights c...

...tly fine before i upgraded and also works again if i downgrade.? I think either something is fishy with the 'filename_convert_internal' function of ".../source3/smbd/filename.c" or my configuration needs to be adjusted for 4.10.4. I tried several changes (disable unix extrensions, vfs_xattr options, reconfigured GlusterFS volume and many more) in my config but none of the changes made me able to use the shares like before. I even tried "rwx for all" out of desperation.? I'd be happy if i could find a solution here. I only serve files to windows 10 clients, so if the sol...
