Hi Gary
First of all the permissions assigned from windows are actually Access
control lists which are not supported by default
so first enable acl support for the filesystem for which you want to assign
permissions from windows.
ie /etc/fstab file for example for /public file system
LABEL=/public /public ext3 defaults,*
acl * 1 1
and give this command
mount -o remount,rw /public
and in smb.conf in global section add the following entries
nt acl support = yes
inherit acls = Yes
map acl inherit = Yes
Try this
Regards

Folks,
I have smbd 2.2.7 running on a Redhat Linux 9.0 system
from which I am mapping directories onto my Windows XP Professional
system.
For the most part everything is working fine. The one thing that doesn't
seem to work is that of changing permissions on a file from Windows.
I have a user grday in group developer on the linux system with
home directory /home/grday. I have the smb.conf file shown below.
The share mapps ok, and I can create a file which gets the correct
permissions from the creation mask. However, when I right-click
the file, and select the security tab from the properties dialog,
and then try to set the write permission for the developer group
I get "access denied" when I click ok.
Also, an oddity is that, unless I put user "nobody" in the
smbpasswd database I get a lot of messages like:
[2006/12/04 16:55:25, 1] smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(545)
Couldn't find user 'nobody' in passdb.
I have a similar problem with smbd 2.2.12 running on a solaris 9 system
with a bunch of Windows 2000 clients. In that case, I got rid of
the nobody messages by putting nobody in the smbpasswd database.
However, I now get a lot of messages like:
[2006/12/04 10:28:46, 0] smbd/service.c:(563)
Can't become connected user!
The messages don't seem to do any harm, but I'm wondering if they
have anything to do with my inability to change permissions.
here is my smb.conf file.
