Then your proposal is a non-starter. Support for multiple remote filesystem access protocols is key for ZFS and Solaris. The impedance mismatches between these various protocols means that we need to make some trade-offs. In this case I think the business (as well as the engineers involved) would assert that being a good SMB server is critical, and that being able to authoritatively edit file permissions via SMB clients is part of what it means to be a good SMB server. Now, you could argue that we should being aclmode back and let the user choose which trade-offs to make. And you might propose new values for aclmode or enhancements to the groupmask setting of aclmode. > but it sounds like currently people cannot ``fix'' permissions through > the quirky autotranslation anyway, certainly not to the point where > neither unix nor windows users are confused: windows users are always > confused, and unix users don't get to see all the permissions.
