What does it look for in the filesystem to detect acl support?  It is
compiled into Samba or at least its linked to the libacl libs. and the
filesystem is mounted with acl's enabled. What check does it perform
to enable acl support? I have a fairly vanilly setup ( ext3 with acl
support enabled)

|Looks like your Samba hasn't been compiled or isn't detecting ACL
