I initially responded to a post by Slyvertre Taburet at [EMAIL PROTECTED] about Samba compiled with ACL support. I was sending a reply to him when I discovered it was going to Sly's address but not being posted to the expert list. So I did a cc to the expert list, and got back that bounce that I just forwarded to the list. Not sure why mtp.mandrax.org [63.209.80.242] would reject a msg being cc'ed to it.
Anyway, when discussing a LMDK 8.2 issue, I thought it appropriate to post this to the list. Here is his response, and my response to his response. Convoluted, yes, but his response is really a response to an earlier poster who had stated that Samba did not come with ACL support compiled into it. I was just trying to get some clarification on Sly's point, which was all you need to do is look at the samba.spec file. Now if you are confused, good, so am I <grinning ear to ear> Sylvestre, I am not the poster that originally posted that Samba came without ACL support but my question to you still stands *UN*answered. Although you were unable or unwilling to answer the question, I asked a very simple question: where is this "samba.spec" file your refer to? While doing an install of 8.2, I chose to have Samba installed. Now, my installed has completed, and there is no samba.spec file. I realize that if, after my OS installation, I decided to build and intall Samba, I would then find a "samba.spec" file. BUT after doing a complete OS installation with Samba selected, where is the samba.spec file? I contend that there is no such file. So how would I know what "--configure-with" options have been used on Samba? The originator of this thread stated that no ACL support was compiled into the Samba that was installed while doing the system install. I think I hear you saying, "yes, it was". Again, my question is very simple, "how would I know what samba is compiled with since no samba.spec will exist on the system"? BTW why is this thread not directed to the expert list?
