No, IMHO the posix_acl code within samba does the best it can to map
between the worlds. But i think that a lot of people have more
complicated setups, and need finer grained rights. And to compete as a
fileserver with windows a windowish ACL model is a must. Thats why i
want to implement this new system. I plan to write a lsm module module
to have the kernel code fs independent.

I already wrote a shell script using smbcacls, but due to the connection
overhead, it's much slower than copying a whole file tree with "xcopy /O
/E". If i start writing some code to stress test the vfs module, in which features would you be interested? 
how did Volker Lendecke check his vfs_afsacl?

Thank you for your help!
