Is there a way to use Linux & Samba Server to mimic NTFS ACL's under a Windows Domain?

  • 772

Does anyone know of an up-to-date tutorial for this? I found this old doc from 2003: http://www.bluelightning.org/linux/samba_acl_howto/ . I've like to have a Linux server replace the Windows file servers for all the Windows workstations. However, NTFS ACL is important, as well as domain authentication. Is this even possible?

    Yes samba maps NTFS ACL's to posix ACL's - just make sure your disk is mounted with the ACL option

    you need map inherit acls = true in the file share section of your samba config.

    I highly recommend this book : http://au.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0782144284.html

    Its kinda old now, but everything it says holds true.
