I am running Samba 3.6 and I have implemented extended attributes and acls for my shares. I want to make directory behavior as similar as possible to client Windows XP.
When I open the properties tab on a directory in a share, under user names I see two additional users: CREATOR GROUP and CREATOR OWNER. This seems to be a consequence of the ACL translation, as copying or moving this directory back to the PC results in the user list to the same users as the directories on the PC. The inherit permissions flag is not set on the share folder although it is set on the PC. I have tried to edit the folder permissions from the Windows property menu for both the file owner as well as the CREATOR OWNER user above, and the making a change as deselecting full control flag, reverts back to the original state. I can post my configuration if required, I intended to map permissions as directly as possible, though leave them flexible so that I can edit them later if required. I saw the posting earlier regarding an experimental patch for Samba 3.6 ACL handling. Are these changes already included in the next version of 3.x Samba?
