main problem are the standard Posix permissions. If you are migrating from

But help is near, you can patch your kernel with filesystem ACLs and I
hope it will not be long until they are included in the vanilla
kerneltree. There must be a wealth of threads on that subject in this
list.

The Samba-shares themselves are offering much more ways to build
permissions, here you should have no problem to implement your old
structure.

Hm, while running winbind, you should have your windows users and groups
on your Linux box. You can work with them as you would with local users.
