Erm, Terry, I think jedgar@ got ACL's working with Windows NT and so did I (think) in one of my Samba+ACL's test. Please check the following URL(s) regarding Samba+ACLs: - http://people.freebsd.org/~jedgar/ACL/ - http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/fs-acl.html - http://samba.mirror.ac.uk/samba/whatsnew/samba-2.2.6.html Samba 2.2.6 should work with ACLs with an 'external patch'. See it's release notes for more information. Hope that helps.
