ACLs in UFS are not the same thing as ACLs in NT, they are POSIX ACLs, implement as part of MAC (Mandatory Access Controls) requirements. Do not expect them to interoperate with Samba as if Samba were an NT server that supported NT ACLs. Same thing for ACLs in Linux and other UNIX OS's, BTW: they tend to comply with the POSIX standard, not with the NT stuff, for which I don't think there is a published standard (only documentation). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
