It's done with get/setfacls; smbcacls is for setting
ACLs from a Unix client on NT servers.  Get those
programs from the XFS site or acl.bestbits.at.

Also you need to remount your partition with acl
support.  Man mount/mount.xfs/mount_xfs/read their
website for details.

You also could do well to take a look at the help
documents on acl.bestbits.at, Samba.org, or my
favorite, crack a book.  I learned all about ACLs in
"Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours," a Sam's book, but
I learned that an O'Reilly "Using Samba" just came
out.  O'Reilly's are usually outstanding and it's
likely to be current, detailed, and have all the
information you need.

Also, search this mailing list at
marc.theaimsgroup.com... I'd answered ACL questions
probably 5 times in the last month, and you'll no
doubt find some answers there from other people, too.

Good luck,
