Behavior: setting 'profile acls = yes' on a share causes the share contents to appear with DOS Read-only attributes. For example: [share] path = /tmp/share create mask = 0770 directory security mask = 0770 profile acls = yes browseable = yes guest ok = no read only = no This behavior started in 3.0.11 and I believe its due to the following changes: http://websvn.samba.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi?view=rev&root=samba&rev=3811 http://websvn.samba.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi?view=rev&root=samba&rev=3814 I can confirm that backing out these changes in 3.0.14a fixes this behavior. Thanks.
it probably just causes your *folders* to be r/o, right? Do you have any problem with this ? Anyway - There seem to be problems with r/o attributed "special" folders and some applications, which don't expect this. It might be a good idea to store the r/o bit in extended attributed when store dos attributes are enabled. That would not be a solution for systems which don't have xattrs but I don't see a better way to do this.
arrg, no you have a more generic problem. Do not set profile acls on a normal share, doing this is broken by design. profile acls may just be used for profile shares.
