similar to: copying a folder removes the 'hidden' attribute

Here's the situation: We have users who are members of groups and those groups are sometimes members of a 2nd level of groups. If a folder has permissions assigned to a 2nd level group, then the user can not access the share. Doing a "getent group | grep user | grep 2nd_level_group" also returns nothing. Samba seems to not be recognizing that a user is a member of a group under

I'm trying to decide on a linux distro to use for our enterprise Samba server. I like that there is a deb repo for Debian from samba.org, but I'm more comfortable with CentOS (Redhat). I just want to be sure I have a well supported Samba server and I need at least the 3.0.20 version so I can use the "inherit owner" property. I also want automatic updates for bugfixes and

I have a Windows 2000 Active Directory domain and I need to create a group policy to assign an msi install to a computer. This has always worked fine on a Windows share, but now the install fails after moving to a Samba file server. I'm guessing it's some sort of permissions issue. Does anyone know how to make this work? James Dinkel Network Engineer Butler County of Kansas

hello I'm having the following problem: On a share I have a user with read-only access to word files. Another user has read-write access to these files. When the user with read-only access opens a word file and then the user with read-write access to these files opens the file, the read-write user has only read-only access. If the read-write user opens the word file first, then he has

We are running a fileserver (Samba version 3.0.10-1.4E.9) on CentOS 4.4. No AD, clients are Windows XP and OS X. Linux acl's are used for access to directories and files. Each top-level folder belongs to a primary group with mode 2770. The acl's restrict access to lower level directories. We need to pass the acl's down the directory tree or else users may have unexpected access to

hi, i was able to successfully run vfs_shadow on a samba share with win xp shadow copy client. but i think it?s currently not implemented that one could export [homes] with this vfs object, because AFAIK each @GMT-snap has to resist directly under the samba share. but [homes] is a virtual share representing different shares (depending on users). has anybody hints about using vfs_shadow with

The "good reason" is all the tooling in R doesn't work with subfolders and would have to be rewritten. All the package check and build stuff. And that's assuming you don't want to change the basic flat package structure - for example to allow something like `library(foo)` to attach a package and `library(foo.bar)` to attach some subset of package `foo`. That would require

Hi, I run dovecot (2.1.7) on debian wheezy in conjuniction with postfix, samba4 (as ldap backend) and sogo. I configured folder sharing but have an few issues. With my current config users can share the inbox and other folders. If the acl allows creatings subfolders this does work for all folders beside inbox. What i want to archiev is the following: If an user shares his inbox, others

A quick drive-by-comment: What if 'R CMD build' would have an option to flatten R/ subfolders when building the tarball, e.g. R/unix/a.R R/windows/a.R R/a.R becomes: R/00__unix__a.R R/00__windows__a.R R/a.R ? Maybe that would be sufficient for most use cases. The only thing I can imagine is that source file references (e.g. in check NOTEs) will be toward the latter and not the

# dovecot --version 1.2.15 We're trying to migrate a server from Cyrus to Dovecot, and we're mostly there. On Cyrus, the folder layout in the MUA is: INBOX subfolder subfolder ... Sent Drafts Queue Trash Users cannot create sibling folders to the Inbox, only subfolders (and sub-subfolders, etc). We've replicated that with:

Hello, I've some trouble with my kmail (Version 1.13.5 / KDE 4.5.1, Kubuntu 10.04 and a dovecot-imap-server on debian etch (dovecot 1.0.rc15-2etch5). Everytime I try to create a folder under my imap-inbox, I get an error like "can't upload folder...", but after this message I can see a new folder under my inbox-folder, but I can't use it ... With a thundermail-client I

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, http://wiki.dovecot.org/ACL mentions: "Currently there is no ACL inheritance." However this applies to a folder inherit ACLs to existing subfolders; when you share a folder and a non-owner creates a sub-folder within, no ACLs are set, hence, the creator cannot access the new folder. Could the "create mailbox"-process

Hi, I finally migrated my IMAP server from cyrus to dovecot2. I have been using cyrus since many years and have not much experience with dovecot yet though. I've converted my imap server using cyrus2dovecot (several times until I thought it was correct) but there is one thing left which confuses me and I'm not sure what I can or need to do to change it. With Cyrus I used

Hi I have to rsync a folder say 0. This folder inside it contains sub folders [0-999]. Inside this subfolders i have further subfolders [0-999]. so my directory structure is: /0/0/0/file /0/0/1/file /0/0/2/file | | /0/0/999/file /0/1/0/file /0/1/1/file | | /0/0/999/file and so on

Hi, It's unfortunate that with recent revisions of R 2.13 (this appeared in revision 54640, March 2), 'R CMD build' now removes empty dirs in the package. People might have good reasons for having empty dirs in their packages. For example, in Bioconductor, we have some tools to automatically generate annotation packages and those tools are implemented in software packages that use

Hi All, I am trying to achieve ACL set in Public folders, I have public namespace in dovecot.conf like this namespace public { separator = / prefix = Public/ location = maildir:/var/mail/public/ subscriptions = no } and now under public folder I have two subfolders .test and .test1 . I have created dovecote-acl under .test so that it can be seen and subscribe. but I can't see

Hi, first of all: yes, I already dug the internet but didn't find a solution - that's why I'm asking you. My provider uses dovecot, although I can't tell you more about the version - sorry. Mail is stored in mbox format. My trouble: I was unable to create subfolders and googled a bit. A proposed solution was to append a slash at the end of the folder name. I used Thunderbird to

I have just used Squirrel web client to re organize some old emails to subfolders. that worked OK, EXCEPT, all these emails are now in order that I have moved them rather than original date, is that some 'simple' way to re-sort them back by original date ? thanks for any pointers, sorry for dumb question Voytek

Hi, i have a share called [home]. Designed like described here: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/User_Home_Folders#Creating_the_Home_Folder_for_a_New_User. First i have no problems but i want to enable a trash folder for each user. At this time i have about 8000 home directories. The directorys are subfolders from [home]. Is it possible to enable a trash folder inside the home directory

I am using Maildir with dovecot 0.99.14-1 and postfix. My IMAP server was working where I could create a folder in Kmail or Thunderbird and specify wether the folder was to hold messages or folders. Then something changed, and I lost all my folders that contained sub-folders. And now I cannot create folders that contain subfolders (Kmail doesn't event give the option anymore). I can
