--with-acl-support (2.2.4

[Noel Kelly]

OK so you can set and view ACLs using setfacl/getfacl ('setfacl -m d:o::rwx
/tmp' 'getfacl /tmp'  ?  ie the kernel patches worked successfully ?)

If so then ACLs are indeed enabled.  I would then start the compilation
afresh - Samba should pick up on the ACLs automatically.

Are you using winbindd for authentication ?

A caveat to remember once you are up and running with ACLs is that only the
owner and root can alter ACLs through the Windows Explorer editor.  For
administration purposes I create a protected, hidden share with 'force user
= root'.
