Have you check the "File, Directory and Share Access Controls" chapter of
the Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf? We went to a lot of trouble to document
this stuff. If our documentation is not good enough we'd appreciate your
help to get it right.

You can locate the documentation at:
	http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf

Please let us know what we missed.

Thanks.
