[jcifs] support for AD ACLs

[rob]

Smbcacls is a tool you can use from the Linux command like to view ACLs on
remote samba shares.  As I understand it, it's 'partially' compatible,
resulting in errors that many may not really care about.  It looks to be
fairly accurate.

BTW: This is a google post from a couple weeks ago.  Haven't gotten a reply

Hello World,

I'm looking for ways to read Windows ACLs for files and directories
from a Linux JVM.  I've seen references to jCIFS and jarapac when
others have asked the question, but looking into those options further
I haven't found any examples, APIs, or Javadocs that explain how to do
it.

Other sources I've encountered seem to imply the need to make such
interrogations from a file system that supports ACLs (like ext3) and
even then, minor incompatibilities could cause some errors.  If that's
the case, I suppose that would make things tough for jCIFS and jarapac.

Does anyone have insight on how ACL access can be gained from a Linux
JVM?  And if a package does not exist to do this, could someone clarify
the difficulties in doing so?

TIA!

         -cnei!
