[Samba] Windows ACL modify ability?

[Mike Partyka]

Interesting, i was not aware of that, the kernel does have the necessary
support in it for POSIX ACL's and Extended attributes, but i was lacking the
entry in /etc/fstab i added it and will test it this afternoon and report
back.

Thanks for taking the time to respond, Louis!
