similar to: ext3 and acls?

A patch that implements acls on ext3 for kernel 2.2.x is available at http://moldybread.net/patch/kernel-2.2/ It looks to be stable. Beat it, break it.

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 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.

Hello out there again! I have a problem with ACLs: I build Samba 2.2.2 with ACL support. ACLs are 0.7.21 (from acl.bestbits.at) on a 2.4.10 Kernel. ACLs are working fine within Linux. When I connect to a Samba share from a Windows NT Workstation or Server, I only see the three standard acls representing world, group and owner. I have several files with acls for testing but non of this acls is

In the Red Hat Linux spec file for the 2.2.19 kernel, there is a note not to enable ext3 and LFS at the same time. I'm wondering whether this is an old note, and that it is safe to use ext3 0.0.7a on a system with LFS enabled, or if there are still issues with it. I'm aware that 0.0.7a is a really old version, and 2.2 isn't the most modern kernel, but it is what I have to work with.

A new work-in-progress release of the Extended Attribute and ACL patches for ext3 is now available at http://www.moldybread.net/patches/kernel-2.4/ This release is against linux-2.4.10-ac12 with ext3-2.4-0.9.12. Status: Extended attribute sharing now seems stable. Performance problems appear to have been addressed. Known Problems: Error message: "VFS: brelse: Trying to free free

Hi, I am new to samba server, I install it sucessfully and the smb server also work well. Now, I try to implement the ACL with similar to the ACL in windos 2000 server. However, I failed to implement it until file level, can someone guide me to implement me. regards, cksoo

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

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 from bestbits. i used the

Hi- I am experiencing some odd behavior with ACLs with winbindd using Samba 2.6 on Debian Woody (kernel version 2.4.18). 1. I am unable to alter permissions from Win2K clients using the Properties->Security interface. Is this normal? I get the "Unable to save Permission Changes on new Folder. Access is denied." message. This occurs with all accounts, both privileged and

Hi, I 've setup a SAMBA server under ext3 file system which uses the 'ACL' package ( http://acl.bestbits.at/) for restricting users. I've set 'default' permission for some directories using 'setfacl'. Everything works fine but, at times the default permission is not applied to newly created directories or files. I think that SAMBA is innocent in this case

Hi, As I can see in the last mailing list I am not the only one to get problems with ACL support in Linux. Whatever the samba version (2.2.4, 2.2.5) the main problem is how acl and extended attributes can be implemented fine in linux. I've installed samba on AIX systems where acl is implemented (native) and NT ACL works fine at each time (the only difficulty there is that nsswitch is not

I'm building 3.0.14a on Mandrake 10.2, trying to use the same config as my other servers (3.0.11), but ACLs are not working. In checking the outout of smbd -b, I see this line is missing: System Headers: HAVE_SYS_ACL_H .... But I am specifying ./configure --with-acl-support ... Adding an acl using 'setfacl -m 'NTDOMAIN+NTUSER' file does successfully add an ACL for the NT

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

Samba friends, I need someone to explain to me what should work when I use Samba 2.2 as a fileserver, which is a member of a Samba TNG domain, with acl.bestbits.at's ACL implementation. I set this up to gain 2 things. 1) The ability to apply fine grained access control to files and dirs 2) The ability to be able to modify, add, or remove those permissions from an nt client or server that is a

Im seriously thinking about changing dist. due to acl won't work as they should with debian woody. Ppl also tell me this is because of some bug in debian. So, as the subject says, anybody got acl to work w/ debian 3, winbindd in a domain? If not, hello redhat..

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 disadvantage of each? The Filesystems HOWTO

hi all, i have download the latest verion of samba (2.2.5) and acltools from bestbits. i would use an fileserver with acl support, but i have some problems. after uncompress the tar-archiv i type in the sourcedirectory: ./configure --with-quotas --with-acl-support and i get the following: "checking whether to support ACLs... checking for acl_get_file in -lacl...
