Help with ACL on dir/files
Hello,

I'm looking for some insight on ACL's in particular in regards to directories (but I guess files as well).

Here is what I would like to achieve.

A shared directory (by samba) that is mapped on a Windows box as a netowrk drive, any members of a specific domain group should have complete access to this share and anything in it, while everyone else who is not in the group doesn't. User auth comes from a Windows DC.

The link between the Unix box and the DC is working correctly.

If I issue the following command:
Code:
chmod A=group:DOMAIN+'domain group':rwxpdDaARWcCos:fd:allow Accounting/

I am able to access the files and directories (first level) without issue.

I can create new directories and new files as well as rename and delete existing ones.

I cannot however figure out why after creating a new directory I cannot access it (general Access denied error under Win) or save to a new created file (txt doc as a test).

I cannot use the recursive option of chmod as it gives me an error of:

Code:
chmod: ERROR: Inheritance flags are only allowed on directories
See chmod(1) for more information on valid ACL syntax

Can anyone shed some light on the situation? I am a *nix n00b, I've "played around" for a few years in Linux but this is the first time I've really gotten my hands dirty with permissions.

I have searched numerous documents on google for answers, but I can't seem to find any relevance (most docs talk about this command for "files"). I've also searched this forum for ACL directory and didn't find anything useful.

OS ver. Sun Solaris 10

Cheers!
Sascha

acl_check

acl_check(3SEC) 				       File Access Control Library Functions					   acl_check(3SEC)

NAME

       acl_check - check the validity of an ACL

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -lsec [ library... ]
       #include <sys/acl.h>

       int acl_check(acl_t *aclp, int isdir);

DESCRIPTION

       The  acl_check()  function  checks the validity of an ACL pointed to by aclp. The isdir argument checks the validity of an ACL that will be
       applied to a directory. The ACL can be either a POSIX draft ACL as supported by UFS or NFSv4 ACL as supported by ZFS or NFSV4.

       When the function verifies a POSIX draft ACL, the rules followed are described in aclcheck(3SEC).  For  NFSv4  ACL,  the  ACL  is  verified
       against the following rules:

	   o	  The inheritance flags are valid.

	   o	  The ACL must have at least one ACL entry and no more than {MAX_ACL_ENTRIES}.

	   o	  The permission field contains only supported permissions.

	   o	  The entry type is valid.

	   o	  The flag fields contain only valid flags as supported by NFSv4/ZFS.

       If any of the above rules are violated, the function fails with errno set to EINVAL.

RETURN VALUES

       If the ACL is valid, acl_check() returns 0. Otherwise errno is set to EINVAL and the return value is set to one of the following:

       EACL_INHERIT_ERROR     There are invalid inheritance flags specified.

       EACL_FLAGS_ERROR       There are invalid flags specified on the ACL that don't map to supported flags in NFSV4/ZFS ACL model.

       EACL_ENTRY_ERROR       The ACL contains an unknown value in the type field.

       EACL_MEM_ERROR	      The system cannot allocate any memory.

       EACL_INHERIT_NOTDIR    Inheritance flags are only allowed for ACLs on directories.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
