Yes, I would like to see that module. No hurry though - samba
didn't have working Darwin ACL support up to now if I am not
mistaken. 

Is the module you are referring to by chance the one available under
http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/Current/samba-100.7/darwin_vfs/darwin_acls.c
In this case, it does of course not fit into our acl schema.
But with some work it could (judging from a first glance)
be integrated.
Or do you already have something that integrates with upstream Samba?

I don't have any special or urgent need, just want to make Samba's 
ACL support more complete.

Cheers, Michael
