Hello!

I'm currently trying to get ACLs to work with my Samba-PDC. I compiled Samba 
with the "--with-acl-support"-option and the configure-script says:

checking sys/acl.h usability... yes
checking sys/acl.h presence... yes
checking for sys/acl.h... yes

After install, a "ldd smbd" gives

libacl.so.1 => /lib/libacl.so.1 (0x40283000)

so I assume that Samba was compiled successfully with ACL-support. I use a 
reiserfs-partition with acl enabled (rw,acl) and am able to set ACLs via 
"setfacl".

However, trying to change ACLs with smbcacls always gives:

Failed to parse security descriptor

Trying to change the ACLs from a windows box shows the correct acls, but 
attempting to change them results with a "access denied"-error.

How else can I check if Samba is actually using ACLs?

Sincerely,
- --
