similar to: Which filesystem supports ACL?

I was just with my boss cause he had trouble with some Excel and Word document on the Samba server. I noticed that when he saves an Excel document sometimes it takes a lot of time to save and sometimes Excel stop responding, when that happens the file stays locked on the server and when he tries to open it back, he can only open it read only. Is there a reason why it takes so much time to save?

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 had to rename a machine name today because someone used the same name on two computers. I just added a random character to the machine name and I thought that since I have the idealx script setup to auto-create machines accounts it would add it automatically but it didn't so I had to get the computer out of the domain and rejoin it with it's new machine name so it would add it

Well I'm trying to setup the Samba server to act as a print server too. I had uploaded the drivers for the 4 printers we have and I installed all 4 printers on my test computer and it worked well. But when I got back from my vacations one of the tech told me that he couldn't install the printer drivers from the server and when I check the driver didn't seem to be in the driver list

Well I had to set up Samba on a new server and everything seem to went pretty well for the most part but now when I try to log on the domain it gives me an error message saying it couldn't load the profile on the server. What I did was set up new server with pretty much the same configuration, then one evening when there was nobody here I copied all the profiles and other stuff from the old

Ok I have a samba server that I use for file sharing, I have a lot of trouble with it and I want to see if putting those shares on a WinXP box would work better. But we don't have a domain here, just workstation in a workgroup and I was wondering if there was a way I could copy all user/pass from the samba server to the Windows box so that transfering the shares from Samba to Windows would be

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 support in Samba.

Is it still true that in order for a Linux hosted Samba server to have NT ACL support, the Linux box must have an ACL aware file system such as XFS or Andreas Gruenbacher's kernel patch ("POSIX ACL")? I read this in chapter 4 of "Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours". In the time since that book was written, has an easier method been developed, or has a

Hello, I have today released an initial version of extended attributes and access control lists for ext3 (patch against the 2.4.13-ac3 kernel). 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

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 testing

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

I installed samba 3.0.0 beta3 on FreeBSD 5.0 alpha RELEASE, with ./configure --with-ldapsam --with-quotas --prefix=/usr/local/ldapsamba, the smbd log told me this: 2003/08/07 07:37:29, 0] lib/module.c:smb_load_module(40) Error loading module '/usr/local/ldapsamba/lib/pdb/ldapsam.so': Cannot open "/usr/local/ldapsamba/lib/pdb/ldapsam.so" [2003/08/07 07:37:29, 0]

My Dell server was preloaded with Redhat 7.2 , Linux 2.4.7-10, gccv2.96 with Ext3 file system. I want to install 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

Well I'm having some trouble with samba, I had those troubles on a box for quite some time and not long ago I moved all the stuff to a new box to see if it'll work better but it doesn't. I'm monitoring one person in particular because she's the one who do most of the editing stuff in there. What happens is when she opens a document (.doc or .xls most of the time), when she

Hi, I'm having some problems when compiling Samba against the OpenLDAP 2.0.27 shared libraries, I'm trying to compile Samba 3.0beta2 with LDAP support but it can't find the ldap libraries for some reason. I'm not a programmer so I don't understand how all these autoconf/automake script works but I did some research and it seems that Samba is testing to see if the ldap_init

Hi, I'm currently using Samba 2.2.8a and when I try to set some permissions on a directory from Windows, Samba only adds the permission to the directory itself and not the sub-directories. Is there a way to make Samba set the permissions on the sub directories also? Thanks Jean-Rene Cormier

Hi, I have some problems printing to a HP LaserJet 2300 and 4200, everything prints fine but I can't send more than 1 copy to the printer. I installed the printer on a local WinXP box with the HP installation CD and it worked fine but through Samba I can't print more than one copy. We have some other HP printers, a LaserJet 2200 and 4550 and they both work fine. It's like I can't

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

Hi, all. I compiled Samba 2.2.5 (on Linux) with these optinos: --with-smbmount --with-acl-support --with-ldapsam The compilation went fine and everything seems to be working except for the ACL part. I've applied the ACL patch for Linux 2.4.18 (from acl.bestbits.at) and installed all the tools to go with it. That part works: root@madrid# getfacl /tmp getfacl:

I've compiled samba with the --with-ldapsam option and have setup up an ldap server. When I try to change the password of a user, say Administrator, get the following stuff with full debugging turned on (-D 255): New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: ldap_open_connection: connection opened ldap_connect_system: succesful connection to the LDAP server ldap_search_one_user: searching
