Hi,

When cifs.ko fails to resolve sid<=>uid/gid mapping it defaults to
root:root.

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.

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.

Cheers,
