[Samba] REPOST: smbcacls question

[Jeff Yana]

Version 3.0.10

Yes, I am aware that the value for the debug flag is missing, but 
remember I only got the error output posted here because I had debug set 
to 5 or something higher (so the command I present here is not totally 
accurate).

I have got the command working now so that it will display the ACLS. 
Have not tried to set/change anything as of yet, but will so so shortly. 
I think were I went wrong was my syntax with the SMB share. I probably 
was either not giving full UNC paths or leaving them out altogether, 
falling back on the UNIX style syntax instead (where UNC path names are 
not required).

Not sure that I like this syntax, it is very kludgy and 
counter-intuitive to use.

Thanks.
