[Samba] file sharing issue in samba4

[Germ van Ek]

Hello Ankur,

I have understood that in Samba4 the file-daemon runs as root, and access control is handled by Samba, not by the permissions on the filesystem. Therefor, it is also not needed to have a local Unix user for every Samba user. Downside is that you will have to change the tools you use for setting permissions.
I currently don't have access to a Samba 4 server, but after searching a bit it seams the samba-tool ntacl command is for this purpose.

Best regards,
Gerben

Which version of samba 4 are you using ?Basically you should be using the rc2 of samba 4.0

This version share the same engine as samba3 for the files server but it heavily relies on acl support so your file system must be mounted with acl and xattr.
Also providing configuration file + network traces will help.

Hello,

I understand that you people are too much busy. but still I want to give it try with hope of miracle.

my question is, I have installed samba 4 PDC on ubuntu. and in this domain we will have windows7,mac etc as client. and ubuntu will be centralized file server. so, I am facing problem is samba is not giving any respect to acl file level permission. if share is read only and I give explicit permission of read/write to any file through acl its not working. if I keep share in write mode and then explicitly give just readonly permission to any file, it is not stopping samba to let user edit file. 

it was working this way in samba3. we have tried to find out everywhere, the solution of this problem but we failed. finally I thought to leave an email. I believe this is very commonly asked question and now proper answer anywhere.

please help

thanks
