Any pointer or protips on education / where to start to diagnose extended acl issues?

[Hammitt, Charles Allen]

The problem:

When coming in on the nfs exported side to a shared filesystem, the extended acls work as expected; getfacl / setfacl work and the permissions in place grant the expected access.

However, when coming in on the samba side, it's really hit or miss.  Sometimes it works, sometimes not... and unfortunately, it seems like more and more it is not....

Ok, you do have the module loaded (sorry, that snippet wasn't
in the original smb.conf extract you posted :-).

So what is the specific problem ?
