Later this may be worked out. + +Use "simple" mode when the share is used mainly by windows users and unix side is not significant. You will loose unix bits in this case. +It's strongly advised setting "store dos attributes = yes" in smb.conf. + +chown = [true|false] +- true => enable changing owner and group - default. +- false => disable support for changing owner or group + +acedup = [dontcare|reject|ignore|merge] +- dontcare: copy ACEs as they come, don't care with "duplicate" records. Default. +- reject: stop operation, exit acl setter operation with an error +- ignore: don't include the second matching ACE +- merge: OR 2 ace.flag fields and 2 ace.mask fields of the 2 duplicate ACEs into 1 ACE + +Two ACEs are considered here "duplicate" when their type and id fields are matching. + +Example: + +[smbtest] +path = /tests/psomogyi/smbtest +writable = yes +vfs objects = aixacl2 +nfs4: mode = special +nfs4: chown = yes +nfs4: acedup = merge + +Configuring AIX ACL support +============================== + +Binaries: (default install path is [samba]/lib/vfs/) +- aixacl.so: provides AIXC ACL support only, can be compiled and works on all AIX platforms +- aixacl2.so: provides AIXC and JFS2-NFS4 ACL support, can be compiled and works only under AIX 5.3 and newer. +NFS4 acl currently has support only under JFS2 (ext. attr. format must be set to v2). +aixacl2.so always detects support for NFS4 acls and redirects to POSIX ACL handling automatically when NFS4 is not supported for a path. + +Adding "vfs objects = aixacl2" to a share should be done only in case when NFS4 is really supported by the filesystem. +(Otherwise you may get performance loss.) + +For configuration see also the example above. + +General notes +============= + +NFS4 handling logic is separated from AIX/jfs2 ACL parsing. + +Samba and its VFS modules dosn't reorder ACEs. Windows clients do that (and the smbcacl tool). MSDN also says deny ACEs must come first. +NFS4 ACL's validity is checked by the system API, not by Samba. +NFS4 ACL rights are enforced by the OS or filesystem, not by Samba. + +The flag INHERITED_ACE is never set (not required, as doesn't do WinNT/98/me, only since Win2k). +Win2k GUI behaves strangely when detecting inheritance (sometimes it doesn't detect, +but after adding an ace it shows that - it's some GUI error). + +Unknown (unmappable) SIDs are not accepted. + +TODOs +===== +- Creator Owner & Group SID handling (same way as posix) +- the 4 generic rights bits support (GENERIC_RIGHT_READ_ACCESS, WRITE, EXEC, ALL) +- chown & no ACL, but we have ONWER@ and GROUP@ +- DIALUP, ANONYMOUS, ... builtin SIDs +- audit & alarm support - in theory it's forwarded so it should work, but currently there's no platform which supports them to test +- support for a real NFS4 client (we don't have an accepted API yet) -- cgit
