Beer Fund: 🍺 and growing, but honestly I have to admit this is pretty 
deep ... been using and admin'ing *nix since 1989 and I feel like I'm 
doing the doggy paddle here.

So I  created a 2 new folders as admin and user. Windows sets a newly 
created folder as Read-Only, but both admins and users can write into 
both folders

after reading that man page and looking at the defaults (directory mask 
0777), I see that

a) ls shows 777

         drwxrwxrwx+ 2 SDCP\peter  SDCP\domain admins 4096 Oct  3 19:41 
test3

b)  getfacl shows the domain groups with rwx (except default group which 
I'm confused about):

         root at filesvr2:/data# getfacl test/*
         # file: test/test3
         # owner: SDCP\\office
         # group: SDCP\\domain\040users
         user::rwx
         user:root:rwx
         user:SDCP\\domain\040users:rwx
         user:SDCP\\linux\040admins:rwx
         group::rwx
         group:SDCP\\domain\040users:rwx
         group:SDCP\\office:rwx
         group:SDCP\\linux\040admins:rwx
         mask::rwx
         other::rwx
         default:user::rwx
         default:user:root:rwx
         default:user:SDCP\\domain\040users:rwx
         default:user:SDCP\\office:rwx
         default:user:SDCP\\linux\040admins:rwx
         default:group::r-x
         default:group:SDCP\\domain\040users:rwx
         default:group:SDCP\\linux\040admins:rwx
         default:mask::rwx
         default:other::rwx

c) DOSATTRIB is getting set, but not sure if there is a friendly way to 
show it

         root at filesvr2:/data# getfattr -n user.DOSATTRIB -d test/*
         # file: test/test3
user.DOSATTRIB=0sAAAEAAQAAABRAAAAEAAAAJxb7Cpg19hRG8TrKmDX2AE=

Windows GUI only shows Domain Users once 
(https://snipboard.io/aliKP2.jpg), but Get-Acl lists domain users twice, 
once with ReadAndExecute and another with FullControl

     PS C:\Users\peter.SDCP> Get-Acl \\filesvr2\Test\user | Format-Table 
-Wrap

         Directory: \\filesvr2\Test

Path Owner Access
---- ----- ------
user SDCP\office Unix User\root Allow  FullControl
SDCP\office Allow  FullControl
CREATOR OWNER Allow  FullControl
SDCP\Domain Users Allow  ReadAndExecute, Synchronize
CREATOR GROUP Allow  ReadAndExecute, Synchronize
Everyone Allow  FullControl
SDCP\Linux Admins Allow  FullControl
SDCP\Domain Users Allow  FullControl
