File Share Permissions

[Charles Tryon]

Simple answer is, "Yes, if you have it set up right."

You probably need to use Samba3 as your file server, since Samba4 is really
more focused on the AD side of things.  On the S3 server, you should make
sure you have extended attributes support turned on in the underlying file
system.  My personal experience is that it's still a little messy (initial
permissions are in the "wrong order" according to the W7 security dialog),
but it does seem to work.  Other people probably have more specifics on
this than I do.
