[Samba] ACLs passwd file and winbind.

Hi
Is there a way of getting samba to use the passwd file entries when
utilising POSIX extended acls.
I have two groups of users
1) A vast amount of users who access filestore via windows only. In this
case I winbind and idmap to assign random UNIX uids as is normal.
2) I also have a much smaller group of users who use NFS and CIFS to
access the same area. In this case I put an entry in the password file
on the samba server to set the uid to a particular value so that samba
may write files with that uid. This means that a NFS client may also
access those files provided it has an appropriate user setup.
All this works very well. However I was going to use POSIX extended ACLs
to facilitate sharing but the samba side seems not to work the way I had
hoped. For example an linux user, user-A (uid 1234) may set an acl on a
directory for user-B (uid 12345) so that he may access it, and this
works with NFS (version3) . It seems however that samba does not use the
entries in the passwd file to map uids when it comes to extended acls
and always maps it to a random uid via winbind.
The symptom of this is that a user via samba writes files with uid 1234
but cannot access a file produced from an NFS client with an acl giving
read/write permission to uid 1234. It also works this way when setting
acls via samba - acls are always assigned using the random uid not the
uid as defined in the password file which means that users on NFS
clients cannot read files they should.
My setup is clustered samba 3.5.8 using ctdb and GPFS 3.3 as the
parallel filesystem. testparm -v is below. nsswitch.conf does not point
to winbind.
Does anyone have any pointers. Am I missing something simple?
Thanks
Bob
