However, that is really a very bad fix you suggested
I agree. That is a good way for a home network, where SMB is typically the only protocol in use, so the admin doesn't get lost in the sea of both network and file permissions, but it is not suitable for a business environment.
I edited first post with links to images as I cannot find a way to upload images without they get corrupted
Yes, it is really not usable in this way
I gave it another trial to properly apply ACLS group permissions using windows
If I check the "read" and "readw" groups I created, in both Network and File permissions tabs, they do not propagate to windows and we cannot apply any permissions from there. Users must be checked individually
However, if I apply the ACLS permissiosn to teddy and tommy users from windows, they properly propagate to the shell session
So, it seems like the bugs are:
- GUI doesn't set any ACLS permissions and will break SMB access if Unix File permissions are not set
- The groups we enable from GUI File Permissions do not propagate to windows ACLS properly, sometimes yes, others no
- The onyl way to properly apply the ACLS is from windows and for each user
Notice that on FreeNAS ZFS system it was only fixed recently also, so maybe it is not something that easy.
But hey, it works also on Synology which uses BTRFS like Netgear. So must not be impossible to implement.
Should this flagged again as a bug ?
