Hi All,
how can I allow an administrator to have permission to change folder ownership from windows explorer?
The Samba server is an AD domain member server and I'm using group mapping not winbind for users and groups in Samba, I've tried mapping both the Administrators and Domain Admins groups to UNIX groups of which my test user is a member of but I always get a permission denied error when attempting to change the ownership of a folder. Anyone like to explain this to me?
thanks in advance, cheers Andy.
Hi Andy,
I can't give you a total solution solving your (our, you are definitly not alone with this) problem. This problem is a mapping conflict. If you try to change the permissions on windows side, you will see in the samba log, that it can't map the SID under windows to a UID under unix. This will take, I think, a deeper look into the ACL's. I think, that we have to use winbind at all, because it makes the SID->UID mapping. Using group mapping is recommended, I think, but you have to consider the rid's. If you make a usual mapping to the "Domain Users" group without defining the rid, the last part of the SID will be generated automatically (algorithm mapping, or so).
No solution, but maybe a hint. If you solve it, please post.
