Re: Samba / CIFS and ACLs

WOW ! Thanks for a detailed response !

Currently from a CIFS client, you can not display or change the ACLs that are on a file served by CIFS on OpenVMS.

There are two types of ACEs that can be in ACLs. Advanced Server ACEs and OpenVMS ACLs.

Advanced Server ACEs are interpreted in the same way that Microsoft group access is handled by Advanced Server. OpenVMS CIFS currently ignores those ACLS.


OpenVMS ACEs are interpreted differently. While Advanced Server will honor the ACEs because RMS does, those ACEs are not visible to Advanced Sever Clients, and can not be changed by them.

Samba and its clients appear to work this way also.


SAMBA expects a draft POSIX ACL implementation, or some specific private UNIX ACL implementation.


I have heard that NFS V4 includes ACLs of some type. Is the POSIX standard compatible with the NFS V4 standard ?
