[Samba] problem with ldap backend

[Vijay Avarachen]

Cornelius,
      Does the cad group have permission to read/execute the /home/data/cad
direcotry on the file server?  On the file server do 'ls -l /home/data |
grep cad' .  If the group does not have read,execute access to the directory
on the filesystem, then the samba acl is not gonna matter much.
