Hi Andrew,

thanks for the quick answer. Apologies that some of my "guesswork"

Okay.. python is one of the languages I did not learn so far. Well, I  
will see what I can do.

For the sake of clarification: In case

- I get the provisioning right,
- Have the zfsacl module in the generated smb.conf

I will have a working smbd?

Thanks again
