I have configured a number of ACLs for restricting access to directories on the share, which works well when accessing the share from Windows. However, mounting the share from another Linux machine (Ubuntu 12.04) using CIFS does not appear to obey the ACLs (e.g. a user can access files that they should not have permission to access). Checking the kernel, I can see that CONFIG_CIFS_POSIX, CONFIG_CIFS_ACL and CONFIG_CIFS_XATTR are enabled:

Hi Andrew, hi everyone
4.0.4 git DC and file  server

I'm tearing my hair out on this one too. No matter what I set in
smb.conf or using setfacl on the Linux client, any file created on a
cifs mount is _always_ created 0777.

I see that the default in  smb.conf is:
create  mode = 0777
but even overriding this with:
create mode = 0644
either in [global] or in a separate share,
still produces files with 0777 permissions no matter what.

I really would like to solve this one. Several threads here, on
samba-technical and on my distro list have so far drawn a blank.
Cheers,
Steve
