Sorry, I should have specified - Samba 2.2.7 manually compiled with ACLs, on Debian unstable.(b) In said ACL properties dialog, the usernames displayed are the UNIX ones, not the ones converted with the username map option.Why not use original Windows names and take users map out of the loop?
While a blank in user's name is strictly a no-no and all lower case is
preferable, most *nices can deal with names longer than 8 chars, although "ls -l"-listings may appear messy.
As for your (a) question, should we chase back your previous mails
to find out exactly what samba version on which platform you are
using, or can you discretely include that info in a mail?
However, I have just this morning worked out both of those problems. For all the future Googlers out there who are banging their heads against the wall as much as I have been:
IF IN DOUBT, USE WINBIND.
Setting up winbind with the nsswitch.conf stuff works perfectly (as far as those two problems go).
Only problem I have now is working out how to preserve the ACLs on files I copy from the W2k to the Samba machine. xcopy /o seems to be it, but it comes up with "access denied" and the file is empty, as well as having the default permissions (copying person is owner, etc). More Googling needed...
Thanks for your help, everyone.
