Hi,

I cleaned up the smb.conf, thanks for the hint! I do have both of these 
options set for that share.

I do set it for windows correct, and think that this whole permission 
settings is kind of awful and I want to set the permissions right from a 
linux script. That feels way more natural to me.

I read the wiki page and know that the SYSTEM account has no real 
purpose on unix and I don't care about that account, but it seems like 
(as the wiki suggests) windows needs that to appear in the ACLs in order 
to create the roaming folder. I could also add a script that creates all 
the folders for all users automatically, but that kind of feels bloated.

Is there any other way of "making windows" create that folder without 
setting the ACLs from windows?


Many thanks!

Moritz
