Need to lookup name for a SID. Mount a cifs share using cifs client. Would want to use an utility/command named like cifsacl, similar to getfacl. I have modified cifs vfs client to fetch acl/sec desc blob using extended attribute (getxattr call). If I have means to connect to an IPC$ share (when a very first session over an smb connection is established) and stay connected to the server for the life of an smb connection, and one named pipe Trans command, TransQNmPipe, implemented and accessible via either ioctl or xattr interface, RPC commands/calls (bind and other pipe appropriate commands) can flow over this smb connection and authenticated smb session to/fro pertinent named pipe and sid can be resolved to a name. If not, we have to use Samba libraries (which ones?) calls and/or services (windbind?) APIs. I am trying to figure that out. Any pointers to sample code would be appreciated. I am also concerned about the usage of cifsacl command/tool. It should be expected to be used in the similar fashion as getfacl gets used. But cifsacl has be to implicilty/explicitly aware of server, share, means to obtain authenticated credentials etc. everytime it is invoked. I am not sure whether that is such a good idea. I am particularly concerned about how it would obtain authenticated credentials. A usage for cifsacl similar to getfacl is preferable over the usage like smbcacls command. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
