We have a free add-on package that we are using for our clients to give
much more flexibility with the standard Unix permissions.  The package
is a set of modified source code modules, and additional source code
modules which we developed ourselves.  It may achieve what you need.
It's called "Sambafolders".

There is potential to add ACL support to this code.  I have access to 
Solaris, so it may be quite easy to do if need be.

Contact me if you need more information.

Sounds good, where can I find it? I would like to look at it.

Is it compatible with the latest Samba release?
