[hardy]Unable to break ACL inheritance Windows ACL editor

[Benjamin E. Zeller]

I cannot break ACL inheritance anymore in the Windows ACL editor. With previous
Samba versions, I entered the "Advanced" dialog of the Windows ACL editor and
unchecked the flag "Inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to
child objects. Include these with entries explicitly defined here". Afterwards,
I could remove or change ACLs as needed. If I do this now, inheritable ACLs
that exist on higher directory levels re-appear after having deleted them.

Known as bug 5873 in samba bug tracking; see

I forgot: This effects Ubuntu Hardy 8.04-8.04.3 with samba 3.0.28a

Thanks a lot Chuck. Looking forward to that fix. We got a lot of LTS rolled out at customers sites (just because of Long Term) and that's really annoying as customers want to use windoze explorer to set permissions, not setfacl on CLI. Is already fixed from samba team so shouldn't be a big deal to backport. We're at selfcompiled Samba at the moment but not to happy with that.

Any progress on that? As already stated: It is fixed in Samba source for a couple of versions....

This looks like to be fixed in samba 3.0.33.

I just double checked and this is also fixed in natty, proabby a good candidate for an SRU.
