Hi all,
Installation: RH7.2, 2.4.18 kernel, XFS patch, samba-2.2.4 in windows
2000 domain environment. Authentification is done through winbind daemon. I
want only particular users (say, group "Domain Admins") have the
ability to
change permissions (ACL's), not the owners of file/directory. Is it possible
to implement this?

I think you will find that currently only the owner of a file/directory can chnage the ACLs. This becomes a problem of course because anyone that creates a new file/dir is the owner and you cannot change the ACLs. A workaround for this to act as root, who can of course do anything to a file/dir. Create an a new share which is only accessible by your Domain Admins group (valid users = ) and use 'force user = root'. This will mean any operations will be done as root. Dangerous but effective.
