Make sure you have cifsacl along with multiuser. In my testing (multiuser with kerberos) I can see domain accounts resolve fine. Not sure about local accounts. Keep in mind cifs.ko is delegating the work of resolving to winbind. So I would suggest trying resolving the things that don't seem to work directly with the wbinfo utility (see --sid-to-uid, --sid-to-fullname etc). My guess is it won't work either but it could be easier to debug from that end. > * Files with group ownership of Administrators allowed access > regardless of permission bits (though I am in Administrators group). > -However, files owned (showing in UID) field AdministratorsGroup > showed up as being owned by 'root' from the linux machine and > didn't enable access (though some other rule might). cifsacl mount option will also enable mapping mode bits to ACL but in a best-effort manner as a 1:1 mapping is unfortunately impossible. It is not very reliable and we also have no tests to check those mappings :( I think Shyam worked on this recently, maybe he can comment.
