How can I set Samba domain controller user as linux file owner?

  • 772

I am trying to set a user in my Samba active directory domain controller as owner of a file on my domain controller server, I am trying exactly what I found on samba official wiki here: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Shares_with_POSIX_ACLs

chown "Someuser" /srv/samba/Demo/Example
chown root:"Demo Group" /srv/samba/Demo/Example

but that doesn't work, the system tells me that the group or the user is invalid. Could someone help me to change the owner of the file or folder to be one of my DC members using the normal linux commands like what I used above?

Thanks in advance.

linux permissions samba access-control-list samba4

  1. OK I found the answer, shortly, I cannot do that with the domain controller:

    https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_Samba_as_an_Active_Directory_Domain_Controller

    Running shares with POSIX ACLs on a Samba DC is not supported. To provide network shares with the full capabilities of Samba, set up a Samba domain member with file shares.
