[Samba] Group permissions issues with winbind on

Simple group permissions don't seem to work when winbind is running and smb.conf has "nt acl support = yes"

If you have a directory that is writeable by a group you are a member of - but you are not the file owner - you cannot delete any files underneath the directory (even if you do own them). However you can edit and save the files - just not delete them.

This also applies when using an extended ACL for the group, viz:

mkdir test
setfacl -m o::0,d:o::0,g::rwx,d:g::rwx test
chown user2:mygroup test

running getfacl test shows -

file: test
owner: user2
group: mygroup
user::rwx
group::rwx
other::---
default:user::rwx
default:group::rwx
default:other::---


However this results in Windows 7 returning the error "You do not have permission to access this" even though I am also a member of mygroup.

Stopping winbind or changing smb.conf to "nt acl support = off" makes it work correctly.

Access under Linux works as expected.

Can anyone shed light on this or point me to a fix?

Cheers
