[linux-cifs-client] Acls and cifs mounted shares

[Stefan Rijnhart]

Hi,

Recently, we have tried to get started with acls on our cifs mounted 
shares, but permissions do not seem to be honoured yet on a stock Debian 
server and Ubuntu (Feisty) clients, although acls can be inspected using 
getfacl when running with CONFIG_CIFS_XATTR=y and CONFIG_CIFS_POSIX=y on 
the client.

There seems to be a lot of activity in the cifs development team with 
respect to acls. Does this mean that we can look forward to functional 
acl permissions in a recent or forthcoming kernel?

Regards,
Stefan.
