In SMB/Samba the clients can create a file with no ACL, and the directory ACL is auto inherited. *That* we fake in Samba by creating then updating. But in Windows there are the concept of "inherited" ACE entries, which can come from parents of parents of parents (etc.) objects. When a client modifies one of these on an upper level directory, the server doesn't do the auto updating that the vision of the file system might lead you to expect - that updating is done by a tree walk by the client. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
