[Samba] Join as DC requires libacl, not avail on Solaris

[Thomas Schulz]

I am going to admit defeat here and use a Linux box as my additional
domain controller. It looks like Samba 4.1.5 does not understand the
Solaris ACL system. This may be related to Bug 10362. I have concluded
from this and the other problems that I have had that the Samba team
does not have access to a Solaris box for development and that Oricle
is not providing any support for Samba. Fortunately Samba does work
as a file server on Solaris.
