ACL inheritance mess with win2k clients...

[Jim McDonough]

Perhaps I should clear up the access pattern.  On 2k->samba acl sets, If
the tree looks like this:

/a/b/c/d/e (where e is a file, the rest are dirs)

a set on /a which says "reset child permissions..." generates set_secdescs
like this:

/a/b/c/d/e

/a/b/c/d/e
/a/b/c/d

/a/b/c/d/e
/a/b/c/d
/a/b/c

/a/b/c/d/e
/a/b/c/d
/a/b/c
/a/b

/a/b/c/d/e
/a/b/c/d
/a/b/c/
/a/b
/a

/a/b/c/d/e
/a/b/c/d
/a/b/c/
/a/b
/a

The same thing happens to NT, but the final group of set's have different
ACLs...
