SAMBA/CIFS

[Nobody's Hero]

Hi All,

I am in a corner here. Our server running Advanced Server (ASU) Services is not supported any more, so we are moving to an HP-UX/Linux Samba/Cifs approach. Here is the catch and the boss is about to put his foot up my bus if I don't get this working. They want the files to be handed out from Unix and have the permissions controlled via Computer Manager through Windoze/NT. Well I've been working on this for 4 weeks now, almost successful. The key is ACL support which I added to the kernel and I can talk to Win2k, change permissions to the share and things like that. I can block groups of people out of files (via windoze) but the sub folders under the share can not be controlled. Wondering if anyone does this out there, I know it can be done. I believe it is something simple with the local Unix file permissions or one of the thousands of settings in Samba. I am expecially interested in someones samba config who can do this, especially the 'force security settings. I am about to be busted down to tape man. Any help is greatly appreciated. This project is not going well, mostly because of the way they want to manage the permissions, windoze.

I know ACL's are working, look at the following::

[root@pompano FSPRD]# getfacl /u02/FSPRD/ap
