Huh?  So do I need ACL support in Samba..... :)

Table 13.3 still lists "nt acl support" listed, and it is mentioned
several times in 13.4 & 13.5 (at least in my version of the HOWTO PDF).

It is not listed in the "Removed Parameters" (30.3.1) section;  which it
should be if it is deprecated?

Maybe this facilitates some of the confustion.

Or my version of the PDF is too old.
