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.
