I don't know. It's something in your Samba setup, perhaps.
I see no obvious reason for it but then its not clear to me what
mkpasswd "asks" Samba for when generating this list. In any case, do
you think this is the cause of the chmod problem I am having?
Lastly, note I am using WinXP Home edition -- which has limited
user admin/acl features. For example, the Security tab in file
properties is missing (though I can add that via a download from
Microsoft). But it seems to have limited ability to add users to
groups and so forth, so the Security tab seems to have marginal
value anyway.
Only the GUI is crippled in XP Home. From the comand line everything
works fine.
Ok -- but does it matter? I'm sorry, but its really not clear to me
what I need to do to get acl's on samba to work in a non-domain
environment.
Cheers,
Raman
