Thanks for the reply. I just tried to use this feature, but after I created
a file, getfattr returns empty. Here is my compilation flags:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--localstatedir=/var/lib/samba \
--sysconfdir=/etc/samba \
--with-configdir=/etc/samba \
--with-libdir=/usr/lib/samba \
--with-lockdir=/var/lib/samba \
--with-logfilebase=/var/log/samba \
--with-mandir=/usr/man \
--with-rootsbindir=/sbin \
--with-piddir=/var/run/samba \
--with-privatedir=/etc/samba \
--with-swatdir=/var/data/samba/swat \
--enable-debug \
--with-automount \
--with-acl-support \
--disable-cups \
--with-msdfs \
--with-pam \
--with-pam_smbpass \
--with-quotas \
--with-smbmount \
--with-syslog \
--with-tdbsam \
--with-utmp \
--with-vfs \
--with-winbind \
--with-shared-modules=idmap_rid,idmap_ad
\
--with-ldap \
--with-ads; \
Did I miss anything?
We are very interested in this feature for sure. Currently is this feature
used only for storing NTACL, or it is also used for authentication?
Thanks a lot!
