ACL manipulation will require DCE/RPC. We have up to and including
full transact named pipes but there would be quite a bit more on top
of that to get to the point where we could even start to think about
ACLs. Eventually we'll get there but I don't work on jCIFS continually so
when things are stable (like right now) I'm off doing other things. Maybe
in the next round.

PS: There are SMB functions for extended attrinutes.
