Exactly. 'acl' is the default anyway. The problem is this: Have a look into the ACL by using Windows Explorer properties/security dialog. What you see is thatthe user and group for a file on the share is "Unix User\yourunixuser" and "Unix Group\yourunixgroup". These accounts are missing in your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files. What you can do: - Add the Unix accounts to /etc/passwd and /etc/group, for instance: $ mkpasswd -L sambaserver,20000 -U yourunixuser Unix User\yourunixuser:unused:21000:99999:,S-1-22-1-1000:: $ mkgroup -L sambaserver -U yourunixgroup Unix Group\yourunixgroup:S-1-22-2-101:20101: - Change the cygdrive flags in /etc/fstab to noacl, which is equivalent to the old CYGWIN=nosmbntsec. > I haven't noticed any permission failures, so maybe this is just a display > issue, not some credential issue.
