Let me shed some light. In Windows an ace can apply to the folder or to subfolders & files. Assume the following POSIX acl which will map to the the Windows ACL on the right (FARSCAPE is the domain). $ getfacl winadmin/ # file: winadmin # owner: jerry # group: users user::rwx FARSCAPE\jerry (Full) - this folder group::r-x FARSCAPE\users (Read&Exec) - this folder other::r-x Everyone (Read&Exec) - this folder default:user::rwx CREATOR OWNER (Full) - subfolders & files default:user:jerry:rwx FARSCAPE\jerry (Full) - subfolders & files default:group::r-x CREATOR GROUP (Read&Exec) - subfolders & files default:group:users:r-x FARSCAPE\users (Read&Exec) - subfolders & files default:mask::rwx default:other::r-x Everyone (Read&Exec) - subfolders & files So the these ACEs show in the initial page of the security tab FARSCAPE\jerry (Full Control) FARSCAPE\users (Read&Exec) Everyone (Read&Exec) And these will have to be viewed from the advanced tab.

You just have to be the owner of the file. Also see the 'dos filemode' option in smb.conf(5). Hope this helps. cheers, jerry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDzdjcIR7qMdg1EfYRAisOAKCcK/FNCjO7Z3uX2JUEKu+fW/UARQCfRnNf HE3mN62zIfbCBliutyHxgeo= =V7PS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
