It won't help if your filesystem does not support ACL and your Samba is
not build with them. First make sure it does - "ldd smbd" should list
libacl among others.

You can apply ACLs using W2K or NT workstation. ACL can be changed
through Security Tab on File/Directory properties. Keep in mind that to
be able to do that you must be either root or the owner of the files.
