samba - Mar 2022 - Remove all Windows ACL's from files/folders

What's the proper way to REMOVE all the ACL's assigned by Windows to a
Samba share/folders/files?

The short story is I was having problems assigning ACL's via the Windows
security dialog. I managed to fix that, but now users that I assign rights
to a file/folder simply don't have those rights, and I can't figure out
why.

I want to make absolutely sure that all the previous ACL's are gone so
I'm
sure I'm working with a clean setup. If I still have issues, then at least
I'm starting from a clean base, so working through the troubleshooting
steps might be easier.

TIA

If you are storing Windows ACLs into EA's then recursively
remove system.NTACL from all files/directories. You'll
need to be root.
