[Samba] Samba4 - ACL not applied/followed (worked in samba 3.0.11)

For clarity: By ACL I mean LINUX ACLs (seftacl, getfacl), NOT anything set
from Windows clients.

Do you mean on the Linux FS? Yes, of course, as you can see in my first
mail (ACL is on and it works both directly on Linux FS and Samba v3 shares).
If you mean "explicitly in the share section of your smb.conf" then no. I
do not know how to do that. I had spent nice few hours trying to configure
that. (And I must say Samba documentation really sucks.)

V 4.1.0 compiled, started, ACL on shares not working.
V 3.6.22 compiled, started, ACL on shares working (the same smb.conf).

How can I "run Samba4 just like S3"? It is possible I am missing some
additional v4 parameter/setting, but I did not find which one.

Thanks,
