[Samba] ACL support?

Is it still true that in order for a Linux hosted Samba server to have NT ACL 
support, the Linux box must have an ACL aware file system such as XFS or 
Andreas Gruenbacher's kernel patch ("POSIX ACL")? I read this in
chapter 4 of
"Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours". In the time since that book was
written,
has an easier method been developed, or has a Linux-distro-supplied ACL aware 
filesystem emerged?

I'd like to avoid a kernel compile if it can be avoided.

Thanks

Steve

[Samba] ACL support?

Hi Steve, don't know the answer, but a word of encouragement, I went on the
RH 300 course last week, way out my league at the mo, but we recompiled a
kernel, I couldn't believe how easy it was.  A tip though, use the verbose
option and get it to log processes to a file, this way you can go back and
see that all went well.  Another point worth mentioning, it does take some
time, so only attempt it when time and people needing the server allows.

Chow, Trevor.

Check 
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/faq.html#nativesupport
for out-of-the-box xfs support. SuSE 8.0 supports ACLs and Quotas for XFS. (I 
use this), and I'd think the others do this, too.

If you use a distro that doesn't come with a heavily patched kernel (like
SuSE
*sic*), compiling a kernel isn't that hard. You should do it for kicks, on a
box that isn't mission critical just to try it out once.. :)

Cheers, Kai

I've heard reports that RedHat 8 Beta includes ext3 ACL support.  Might be
an option if you like RedHat and can wait for the final release.

Mandrake 8 allows you to choose XFS as the filesystem at install time - not
that I am a big fan of Mandrake but makes a nice way to set up a test system
or quick replacement server.
