This is a kernel issue. On 9.0, where the kernel had ext2/ext3 ACLs,
ACLs work from samba2/3 with no problems (I haven't tested recent samba3
for ACLs on ext2/3 on 9.0 but it did work a while back).

Maybe Thomas will find time for yet another patch?

Use XFS if you are really serious about ACLs (IMHO). They have worked
since Mandrake 8.1 (first kernel update for 8.1 included XFS support
IIRC), and was only broken on 9.1, for about 2 months until 0.25mdk (or
Danny's 0.22mdk). Plus xfsdump/xfsrestore support ACLs, and XFS is
pretty decent (we have over 250GB of data on XFS at present).

As for samba3, packages in contrib should work fine, and it will stay in
contrib until samba-3.0.0 is out, which it seems may be too late for
package freeze in cooker for 9.2 (unfortunately), unless the samba team
miraculously makes their intended release date (4 or 5 days time). I
still have at least one unfixed bug on samba3 (user SIDs are not
resolved when samba3 is a member of a samba2 domain), which has not been
addressed by beta3, will test cvs soon.

Comment about samba2/3 packages is welcome, this just isn't one that
samba2/3 can affect.
