[Samba] Windows changes file ownership & ACL's - any solution ?

[Josh Konkol]

So then what good are ACL's if they're going to be overwritten each time the 
file is accessed?

Am I the only one here to sees this as a real problem?

I'm ready to implement Samba full-force, but this IMHO is a big issue.

ANY feedback right now is appreciated
