Actually, the ACL doco in the HOWTO collection is pretty good and
shouldn't need augmenting. Things on my XP workstation work slightly
differently (i.e. buttons appear in other places than described, etc.). I
can modify DOS )?) file attributes, but I can't modify group file ACLs.
The thing doesn't refuse me by saying "Access denied", it just doesn't
modify anything. In short:

1: I can do all the (RHAS3) command line setfacl etc and that works;
2: after Jerry's correction (on the list) to my faulty rpm spec ./configure
parameter, my smbd -b output is as it should be (so Samba here supports
ACLs).
3: The only thing left is, that some part of my smb.conf has to be wrong.
SWAT says that I have "nt acl support", I've ....

WAIT A MINUTE!

IT WORKS NOW! Changing AC Ls from my XP machine works now!

While I was writing this, I hauled all the ACL lines (3 of them) from my
[global] smb.conf section, leaving "nt acl support = Yes" by default And
then it all started working :))) Amazing.

Now I can go about adding ACL directives to each share to see what happens
to individual shares.

Thanks, John!
