Hi Geza
I think I just understood it. It has all started working.

setfacl -R -m u:Administrator:rwx,d:u:Administrator:rwx /home2/home

Now Administrator can write to /home2/home and any directory under it. 
Brilliant. Administrator must have posixAccount, uidNumber and gidNumber 
for this to work.

As always we are indebted to your patience and time spent with us on the 
issue.

This is a bit off thread, but could you specify any budget 
hardware/minimum Samba4 DC Samba3 fileserver server requirements for a 
college of 2000 students sharing 150 duel boot KDE/w7?
