[linux-cifs-client] Status of POSIX ACLs

[Markus Meissner]

Hi, 

I am using samba 3.0.8 on the server and the client, both are Debian
testing. I have recompiled the cifs-module (available on the client, kernel
2.6.8-1-686-smp) to support "CONFIG_CIFS_XATTR" and
"CONFIG_CIFS_POSIX" (disabled by default). On the server I have set global
"unix extensions = yes" and for the share "ea support = yes". The share is
on an xfs filesystem supporting ACLs. Accessing the share from a
windows-xp-client works as expected (incl. ACL-support). Accessing the
share via mount.cifs works, but I can't see the ACLs via getfacl and I
can't create/modify files if the user is allowed to via ACL but not via the
plain unix-permissions.

I have read some comments regarding EA/ACLs and that they should be finished
"in a few days", written in Juli 2004. Can anyone tell me the status of the
implementation? Is there a problem in my setup or a problem in the
implementation?
