ACL Support

[Charles Marcus]

Here is a post from earlier by Sean Elble with detailed, and apparently (I haven't tried it myself yet, so YMMV) very good info on how to do it:

************ Begin Repost ************

In order to compile Samba with support for XFS ACLs, you *MUST* install the
ACL development libraries that are part of the XFS tree. Also, note that
there are many dependencies involving Samba and the version of the XFS tree
that you are using. The XFS ACL interface changed in a certain version, of
which I cannot remember at this time, and it required an update in the Samba
tree as well, IIRC. Samba 2.2.2 does contain the required code to
interoperate with the latest XFS release (1.02, IIRC), and the current XFS
CVS tree. I am not sure if Samba 2.2.2 still contains support for the
original XFS ACL code; would Jerry or Jeremy care to comment here? :-)

BTW - It might be helpful to read the article I wrote for ReactiveLinux.com
. . . you can access it at

that helps you out.
