IN SHORT: - READ+WRITE becomes READ ONLY - OWNER ACL Permissions for "another User" affects Group ACL Permissions Hi Experts, we recently figured some strange behaviour on our Debian 5 (Lenny, uname 2.6.26-2-686) + Samba 2:3.2.5-4lenny14 server that i would like to discuss here. I cannot tell apart if its a bug or just lack of understanding. Here is the Scenario: I got a samba

Hi, I've allready seen a lot of posts about problems with Excel 2000, but I couldn't find one exactly matching my case. I'm using a self (and maybe badly) compiled samba 3.0.20 on debian, using ACLs. We're using ADS and winbind (some older NT4 domains remain) The users can't open some excel files, spitting a message such as 'the file is readonly or you're trying

I have a PDC named GOMER with IP 10.8.3.37 and a BDC named BLDG1 with IP 10.8.3.231, both in the domain ADAMSTEST. I have a user testuser who logged in successfully to GOMER and has a roaming profile in /var/lib/samba/profiles/testuser. So I changed the TCP/IP settings of the windows XP computer testuser uses from the WINS server of 10.8.3.37 to 10.8.3.231 so it would use BLDG1 for

Hi, I've a strange problem, when a user create a xls file on the server, he can save without any problem. But when he re-open and change the file and save it, windows tell : 'the file as been saved, but it cannot re-open due to a sharing violation' On the Linux file server, the permission for this file are not good ( after the second step : re-open, make a change and save):

Hi all, I have a share for 2 groups of users in which I need this behavior: Group A: can create/delete files Group B: only can modify files I solve this with a share rw for both groups, and FS directory permissions are 2770 and groupA is the owner of the directory, and an acl for groupB which is r-x Then the default acl for this directory is rwx for GroupB, so, when something is created here,

Everyone, I have finally resolved the new heartburn 3.0.24 on Ubuntu Feisty was giving me and have stumbled upon some information that might help others out there. I was seeing problems with ACL entries getting mangled and disappearing, Excel making files read only and extended attributes doing bizarre things. The solution revolved around what appears to be a change in how ACLs are managed.

Hi, i run a few samba shares successfully with CentOS 6.5. I have a program (CAD) hosted on this server. Since an upgrade i have some trouble make it work again.

Dear All I am facing a strange problem that I could not solve, so, maybe you can help me. Look at this situation: I created a new directory with those ACLs (through Samba using Windows XP) [root@server /home/smb/adm]# getfacl teste #file:teste #owner:1002 #group:1006 user::rwx group::rwx group:suporte:rwx group:administ:rwx mask::rwx other::--- [root@server /home/smb/adm]# getfacl -d teste

I've been working at this for a few days now and I can't figure out what is broken. Google turns up similar issues from years back, but I hope this is a bug resurfacing. ACL entries are being deleted when files are saved. Here is an example: username: user1 group membership: Domain Users directory: /share/test file: test.xls getfacl /share # file: share # owner: DOMAIN+backupuser #

Hi, I have a problem with my Samba/WinBIND implementation. In folders shared by multiple people the last one to access and modify a file takes ownership of the file and changes the permissions so other users cannot make changes to the same file: [root@atlas PLANNING RECORDS]# cd REGIONAL\ 1\ AIRLINE\ DOCS/ [root@atlas REGIONAL 1 AIRLINE DOCS]# ls -al total 1232 drwxrws---+ 8 root
