Managing HP-UX File Access Permissions from Windows NT/XP/2000
UNIX File Permissions and POSIX ACLs
Chapter 3 57
• The extra VxFS POSIX ACEs show up as NT ACEs on the Windows
NT client. The permission mode translates like a UNIX permission
mode. With this feature you can also add new user and group entries
from the Windows NT client. The limitations to this feature will be
discussed in the next section.
• The default ACEs that are supported for inheritance by directories
are translated into file permissions for a directory on NT. The file
permissions displayed on the Windows NT client represent the
default ACEs on the UNIX file system of the Samba server. If the file
permissions are set on a directory on the NT client, equivalent
default ACEs are set on the directory on the UNIX file system.
• The class ACE used to limit the other ACEs is ignored. It is not
displayed on the Windows NT client and there is no way to set it from
the NT client. It would be difficult to support on the client side, as
Windows NT has nothing similar to a class ACE.
