Greeting Felipe,

Here a solution for your problem (I hope so). It works for me with MSOffice 2000/2003.

First you need to set the POSIX rights before ACL(EA). These rights will be the base for your "real" permissions.

- Create your folder, and set 2775 or 2770 permissions.
- The assign the owner and group to root:root (you will understand shortly why).
- Now you are ready to set the ACL(EA) permissions.

The use of the 2775 permissions will gave access to the folder and his subdirectory for the share of the files. Or use directly the 2770 permissions to limit access and share immediately your files in the folder.

The SGID define in this permission allow the group to never be change, whatever the group of the owner who create a new file ou change a existing file. The owner has no importance, because it will be change at the creation ou modification of the file (it is the goal to know who have made the change).

The share configuration, I suggest you something like this. The only parameters very important is "force create mode = 660" and "directory mode = 770".

[workspace]

comment = Whatever
path = /pat/to/my/folder

browseable = yes
read only = no

force create mode = 660
directory mode = 770

csc policy = disable


Best Regards

Robert

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)

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/smb/adm]# getfacl teste
#file:teste
#owner:1002
#group:1006
user::rwx
group::rwx
group:suporte:rwx
group:administ:rwx
mask::rwx
other::---

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/smb/adm]# getfacl -d teste
#file:teste
#owner:1002
#group:1006
user::rwx
group::rwx
group:suporte:rwx
group:administ:rwx
mask::rwx
other::---

My ACLs are right, ok, now I will copy a XLS file to that folder:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/smb/adm]# getfacl teste/excel-test.xls
#file:teste/excel-test.xls
#owner:1002
#group:1006
user::rwx
group::rw-
group:suporte:rwx
group:administ:rwx
mask::rwx
other::---

OK, the samba server inhert the permissions and the ACLs, everything is fine
until now.

But when I edit this file with MS Excel, and save it, look what happen to
the ACLs:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/smb/adm]# getfacl teste/excel-test.xls
#file:teste/excel-test.xls
#owner:1002
#group:1006
user::rwx
group::---
group:suporte:rwx
mask::rwx
other::---

The ACL entry "group:administ:rwx" just have gone after I save the file.

It happens with Windows XP, Vista, Office 2003 and 2007. My samba version is
Samba version 3.0.26a, my SO is FreeBSD 6.2. I installed samba through
Ports.

Anybody knows what is wrong?

Thanks a lot!
