Hi - I'm having an issue with Samba 3.0.4 on RHEL kernel 2.4.21-9. I have
my share filesystem mounted with acl support. The issue I'm having is
trying to change permissions on files/directories owned by root as the
domain Administrator. In my smb.conf I have the admin users =
DOMAIN\Administrator setting enabled. It's my understanding that this
allows the permissions on files owned by root to be modified by the domain
administrator.
[Test]
comment = "For testing only"
path = /home/test
read only = No
admin users = DOMAIN\Administrator
ls /home/test
drwxrwx---+ 3 root DOMAIN+Domain Users 4096 Aug 19 08:38 .
drwxrwx--- 4 root root 4096 Aug 16 13:54 ..
drwx------+ 2 root DOMAIN+Domain Users 4096 Aug 19 08:37 testdir
-rw-rw---- 1 root DOMAIN+Domain Users 0 Aug 19 08:37
testdoc.txt
When I try to add permissions to either testdir or testdoc.txt as the domain
Administrator, I get an access denied message.
If the file/directory is owned my DOMAIN+Administator, I can change the
permissions.
What do I need to do to allow the domain administrator to modify permissions
on files/directories owned by root?
Thanks,
Geoff Warner
