You could always try asking 'Deep Thought' or 'Marvin' ;-)

But seriously:

No, the test works on Linux. I tried to get a Samba AD DC provisioned
on Freebsd and I ran into the problem that you have found, ACLs do not
work against zfs, I also couldn't get it work with ufs either and as
ntvfs is probably going to be remove at some point (you have to make
configure build it now, anyway), you may not be able to use Samba as
an AD DC on Freebsd at present.
