OK, I must be being dumb but I don't understand the fix, sorry :-(.

In librpc/idl/smb_acl.idl we have:

        typedef struct {
                smb_acl_tag_t a_type;
                [switch_is(a_type)] smb_acl_entry_info info;
                mode_t a_perm;
        } smb_acl_entry;

so a_perm is explicitly defined as a mode_t. On Linux this
then gets mapped to a uint32_t, so in the pidl generated file
bin/default/librpc/gen_ndr/smb_acl.h we have:

struct smb_acl_entry {
        enum smb_acl_tag_t a_type;
        union smb_acl_entry_info info;/* [switch_is(a_type)] */
        uint32_t a_perm;
};

I'm assuming on FreeBSD this would be:

struct smb_acl_entry {
        enum smb_acl_tag_t a_type;
        union smb_acl_entry_info info;/* [switch_is(a_type)] */
        uint16_t a_perm;
};

Correct ?

Now in source3/lib/sysacls.c we have:

int sys_acl_get_permset(SMB_ACL_ENTRY_T entry_d, SMB_ACL_PERMSET_T *permset_p)
{
        *permset_p = &entry_d->a_perm;

        return 0;
}

So SMB_ACL_PERMSET_T should be a pointer to a mode_t, which will get mapped
to a pointer of the correct size. If you make SMB_ACL_PERMSET_T a pointer
to a uint32_t, then on FreeBSD isn't it going to be pointing to an element
of the wrong size ?

Can you explain why this fix works (sorry for being dumb) ?

Jeremy.
