Hi,

Now that we have successfully moved a first department share on to our mega SAMBA server, we're in the 20% of the old 80/20 rule. Our problem has to do with group permissions within the extended acl.

We have implemented winbind along with the ADS security mode. This means that a user isn't just "jdoe", but is "MYDOMAIN\jdoe". We are using the extended ACL model which means that we can set specific permissions for specific security groups for access to any particular file. The other thing I need to point out is that we have a hierarchy of security groups. We have a security group, 'CATNET\adm' and the members of that security group are the security groups 'CATNET\adm staff' and 'CATNET\adm faculty'. The members of the latter two groups are the actual users.

Here's the problem, a member of 'CATNET\adm staff' cannot access a file for which 'CATNET\adm' has r/w access (group:CATNET\134adm:rwx). But if I add 'CATNET\adm staff' even though 'CATNET\adm staff' is a member of 'CATNET\adm', it works. I thought this might be related to the smb.conf parameter 'winbind nested groups', which I set to 'yes', but it made no difference. Any ideas?

Thanks.
