[Samba] Regarding close-denied-share option

[., Srikanth N S]

Hi,

We have observed that when we remove the ACL of a Windows user and call smbcontrol close-denied-share the share permissions are not getting updated dynamically. Even if we unmap and map the share the share permissions are not getting reflected on Windows.

But in case of Adding/Updating ACL using smbcontrol close-denied-share works as expected.

Following is our test case details:

  *   Created a share “share1” with RW permission


[share1]
path = /mnt/export
read only = no
read list =
write list =


  *   Logged in as user “matt” on windows and mapped “share1”. We can read and write on share1
  *   Created an ACL for “matt” with RO permission

[share1]
path = /mnt/export
read only = no
read list = matt
write list =


  *   Ran smbcontrol smbd close-denied-share share1
  *   Observed that the user “matt” cannot write i.e only has READ permissons as expected
  *   Removed ACL for “matt”

[share1]
path = /mnt/export
read only = no
read list =
write list =


  *   Ran smbcontrol smbd close-denied-share share1
  *   Observed that the user “matt” still has RO permission. We expected the user to have the default share1 permissions which is RW

Please clarify.

Thanks & Regards,
