Hello! I cannot figure out, how to create and map Linux users home directories in samba, what should I do if I need to access my Linux home folder from different computers?

This command didn't work to me:

# chown -R root:"domain users" /nas

Then I edited /etc/nsswitch.conf like this:

passwd: compat winbind
group: compat winbind
hosts: files dns winbind

I hop1e it helps someone!

Hi,

Could any one tell me if it is possible to apply the windows acl’s when mounting a cifs share to Linux (centos/rhel), mean we can grant access to more users/groups in addition to uid/gid (owner of the share), so there is any solution to bypass this issue as long as the posix acl (setfacl) are not permitted.

ps: The current cifs-utils package has two binaries, getcifsacl and setcifsacl but unfortunately this work with SID’s (alternative of uid in windows) , so any one have ever tried or test this ?

joining the AD with winbind or sssd could solve this ?
