ACLs are not dependent on being a domain member.

Not sure what you're aiming for as I've just skimmed your posting, but I 
guess what you're looking for is the module option

        acl_xattr:security_acl_name = NAME

You need a relatively new Samba version (iirc) for this.

The security xattr namespace is not accessible from containers by 
default unless you run the container in privileged mode.

Cheers!
