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.

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.

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'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):

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 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,

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

Hi all, After setting permissions on a file. If anyone authorised to open the file writes to it, the ACL gets deleted and that person becomes the owner of the file and the group is reset to the default. For example, whenever a certain user opens and changes a file in the problem folder he becomes the owner and another gets kicked of the list: More clearly, lee was the last one to write to this

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.
