In production I have use my own script, too. The one shipped with the
sources is to static (e. g. it doesn't work if one of the folders is not
in /usr/local/samba/, and other things).


Maybe some day I will have a look at the original one and write a
replacement. :-)

The problem is, that not all versions of tar support --xattrs. Do you know
- if there's a way to find out in a script if tar has --xattrs support?
- if tar fails if --xattrs support is missing or simply don't contains
the attributes in the archive?
