Hi Emil,
Two things:
1. If you want to use HP CIFS server with POSIX ACLs, then you will need JFS 3.3 or later with file system layout 4 for your shared directories.
2. On CIFS 2.2.X when you try to add a domain user to the ACL it will not work, because you are trying to add a Windows SID to a POSIX file descriptor. That will not work. Your users must add hostname\username because that is a UID that *can* be added to the POSIX file descriptor. This is all explained in "HP CIFS Server Administrator's Guide":
http://www.docs.hp.com/hpux/pdf/B8725-90073.pdf
Go to page 59 for NT clients, 68 for 2000/XP clients. The instructions are pretty good.
The symptom that you are seeing is the same for attempting to add an SID to the POSIC ACL, or for adding a UID to a filesystem that does not support ACLs.

Hello!
We are running SAMBA 2.2.8a from HP (CIFS) on a HP-UX (11i) server. It is running great and all that. The only issue is that the users would like to be able to share there shares to other users that they specify through the Windows clients. The problem is that when they look at properties they see the hostname\username under the Group or user name - which is themselves. When we try to do the domain\username it accepts it as valid, but disappears when we try to apply.
Please advice.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Emil
