Hello,
a few weeks ago i posted the module mod_perms to set or modify permissions,
owner and group by configuration settings. It is in production quite a while
now and heavily used on a samba-3.5.10 (Redhat) installation. So i consider it
stable. In the meantime i found, that it does not build with samba 3.6.6
(the API is different from 3.5 and from 4.0). So i added some ifdefs. The
attached version can be built with 3.5 - 4.0. If you considered including it
into the distribution, i'd really appreciate.
Yours,
Albert Fluegel
