Is behavior of ACLs under Samba 3.3.0 (Sernet) completely different from that under version 3.2.7? The release notes only talks about some "fixes".

I installed version 3.3.0 and got completely different result with the same filesystem and the exact same samba configuration. The ACLs behaved strangely and appeared very different under Windows ACL editor. Users were now unable to delete the exact same files they had just created in a folder.

When seen under the Windows ACL editor, the "Delete" permission was unselected. All efforts to activate it failed. Even resetting the permissions on the command line with setfacl did not have any effect. I then reverted to 3.2.7-38 and all was right again, without any modification whatsoever.

Is this a bug or is it by design? If it is by design, then the release notes really should have warned against such a *huge* difference in behavior...

I observed this under Samba Sernet 3.3.0+CentOS 5.2.

On the subject of ACLs, is there any documentation available about the experimental vfs modules acl_tdb and acl_xattr?

Than you for your attention.
