You still have to convert the Windows security descriptor to a form that means something to the underlying Unix file system. but if you have a file systems that provides equivalent (or even similar) semantics's as Windows NTFS, someone can simply write the necessary VFS API calls and get close. All without having to touch core smbd code.
Currently, this has been done for GPFS, so if you have GPFS, you can use its NFSv4 ACLs, which are much closer to the windows ACLs. The nfsv4 acl mapping is done outside the GPFS specific code, but currently there is no other ACL vfs plugin that uses it. -- ------------------- Jim McDonough Samba Team jmcd at samba dot org -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
