> Is it possible that Dropbox creates files/directories in a special way which prevents Samba from applying the permissions? I remember writing a libc wrapper for dropboxd at some point, because it just wouldn't keep the group permission bits intact. It's not unreasonable to think that it might be doing something with ACL's too. My wrapper library replaced the chmod and umask functionality to return without actually doing anything, by using LD_PRELOAD. Nothing too elegant or fancy, but it's been in use for years now with great success. I'll see if I can find the source code if you're interested. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
