From samba Thu Oct 21 22:12:19 2010 From: brendan powers Date: Thu, 21 Oct 2010 22:12:19 +0000 To: samba Subject: Re: [Samba] SAMBA 4 ACL support Message-Id: X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=samba&m=128786449502592 Samba4 stores its permissions in extended attributes. ntfs-3g would not only have to support NT permissions, but also export them in a format that samba expects. I've thought about posting on the ntfs-3g list about this, but never got around to it. I've never used "ntvfs handler = linuxuid" and permissions work fine for me. What does it do?
