[Samba] Samba + ACL

Hi Marco,

Here's what I've learned over the past few days setting something
similar up:

	1) The 2.6 series kernel supports ACLs on ext3, xfs and other
filing systems.  2.4 can support them if you install the "bestbits"
patches.
	2) Samba 3 seems to work pretty well with ACLs, but that's the
only version I've used.

If you're interested, my setup is Samba 3.0.4 on Fedora Core 2 using yum
to update the kernel and it works fine.

I hope this helps,

I wish to realize a file-server with SAMBA integrated in my network
domain (Windows NT4 PDC). To manage the user access for each share in
the Samba file-server, I would use Active Control Lists.

Anyone can tell me
- what type and version of Linux is best for my purpose ?
- what Samba version is best to use ?

Thanks. Marco
