[Samba] ACL issue with Samba 2.0.23d + GFS

[Dex Chen]

Thanks for the response.

I tested ACL support on Linux side with setfacl command. I was able to add/modify the ACLs through the command.

Here is the example of getfacl output:
# file: cdx_gfs_cifs1
# owner: dchen
# group: users
user::rwx
user:cwsupport:rwx
group::rwx
mask::rwx
other::rwx
default:user::rwx
default:user:dchen:rwx
default:group::r-x
default:group:users:rwx
default:mask::rwx
default:other::rwx


Thanks,

Dex

Hi,

as far as I know GFS only supports posix acl. So only user:group:other.
Everything else are extended acl which are not supported.

Have you tested, if the acl rules are working on the unix side ?

Bye, Peer
