[Samba] Samba 2.2.8a file permissions not working

[matt.twigg at insurance.sungard.com]

Errol,
        Just to ad to the mix,
        I am running RH 9 with the 2.6 test1 kernel with ACL compiled in.
        I can fully manipulate ACLs on ext3 with setfacl.

        I thought the RPMS had --with-acl-support turned on...but I could 
be wrong.
        I did a manual compile of 2.2.8 with all my fav. switches on and 
got the same result.

Regards,

In order to use '--with-acl-support', your kernel needs to have 
acl-support, and that is dependant upon the file system you are running.
Red Hat 9 does not have ACL support in the default kerner NOR do Red Hat's 

modified kernels up to 2.4.21, so my guess is your RH 7.3
does not have ACL support either.
