Dear Experts,<br />
<br />
just an understanding question. I have a SAMBA share with the following ACL settings:<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-26893206-1">getfacl /share

# file: share
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rwx
group::rwx
group:mygroup1:rwx
group:mygroup2:r-x
mask::rwx
other::r-x</code></pre>
<br />
I'm not able to create/edit files on the Linux (Samba) server as a member of mygroup2:<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-26893206-2">touch test.file

touch: cannot touch `test.file': Permission denied</code></pre>
<br />
Logged on a Windows 2008 Server I see the same access rights like on the Linux server, but I can create files. Is it a correct behavior for the following configuration? My aim was to give the mygroup2 just a read access<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-26893206-3">[share]
        comment = share
        path = /share
        valid users = @mygroup1, @mygroup2
        force group = mygroupe1
        force create mode = 0770
        force directory mode = 0770
        read only = No
        inherit acls = Yes</code></pre>
<br />
Thank you in advance!

SAMBA 3 + ACLs: Different access rights in Linux and Windows

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.

Linux Networking

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
