Hi Jef!

I have set xattr and acl in /etc/fstab since Samba4 alpha 17.
When i set all permissions to 0777 and also directory mask = 0777 and 
create mask = 0777 for all shares
in /etc/smb.conf i get this behavior:

1. Login as administrator
- create a folder "test"
- create a file "text.txt" in the folder "test"

2. Login as user
- rename or delete the file "text.txt" works fine now! :)
- rename or delete the folder "test" still don't work :-(

getfacl shows:

getfacl Test/
# file: Test/
# owner: root
# group: users
user::rwx
group::rwx
other::rwx

On the Windows side the group "Domain Users" has full access to the 
folder "Test".

Any other ideas, to fix my ACL problem?
