Thanks !

Ok, let me try and explain better. In the raw.acl SMB1
test code that is the basis for the smb2.acl test code
(file source4/torture/raw/acls.c) in the inheritance
test we have a specific change in the default ACL
creation to code with the Samba4 file server.

In source4/torture/raw/acls.c it looks like this:

1509         if (torture_setting_bool(tctx, "samba4", false)) {
1510                 /* the default ACL in Samba4 includes the group and
1511                    other permissions */
1512                 sd_def1 = security_descriptor_dacl_create(tctx,
1513                                                          0, owner_sid, NULL,
1514                                                          owner_sid,
1515                                                          SEC_ACE_TYPE_ACCESS_ALLOWED,
1516                                                          SEC_RIGHTS_FILE_ALL,
1517                                                          0,
1518                                                          group_sid,

1536                 sd_def1 = security_descriptor_dacl_create(tctx,
1537                                                          0, owner_sid, NULL,
1538                                                          owner_sid,
1539                                                          SEC_ACE_TYPE_ACCESS_ALLOWED,

1543                                                          SEC_ACE_TYPE_ACCESS_ALLOWED,

1546                                                          NULL);
1547         }

The reason for this is that the default Windows ACL on a new
file that is created inside a directory with no inheritance
from the parent directory, and no provided security descriptor
is:

owner-sid: Full control
SYSTEM: full control

When we're doing the same on a POSIX file system we don't
emulate that - it makes no sense on a file system that needs
to have underlying POSIX permissions underneath.

The patch we're discussing adds the same default ACL to
the smb2 ACL tests as we're using in the smb1 ACL tests,
as we'll get the same value back.

The question I'd like to discuss is that now we have
a unified file server, we really should remove the
distinctions saying :

if (torture_setting_bool(tctx, "samba4", false)) and
if (torture_setting_bool(tctx, "samba3", false))

and make the tests pass by using:

if (torture_setting_bool(tctx, "samba_smbd", false))
and
if (torture_setting_bool(tctx, "samba_ntfs", false))

to differentiate the tests against the smbd and ntvfs
fileserver code.

Jeremy.
