Oh great! This sounds very very good and simple too!

Resume
1) we have "options UFS_ACL" in our generic; so I can use UFS2 to host user
data;
2) Build Samba 3 with "ACL_SUPPORT=3Dyes";
3) Add acls flag to fstab.

You guys really opened my mind! I don't know yet if I'm gonna use this way
on this particular project, but is very nice to know this stuff.

Once again, Many thanks :)

Best Regards,
Francisco Cabrita
