[Samba] Another Samba+ACLs thread

Hi all,

I'm having trouble making Samba recognise ACLs properly - a W2k client
isn't using them fully.

I have patched the kernel, recompiled Samba, etc. I've gotten it working
  to the point where the kernel-side of things seems to work fine (with
getfacl, etc). Also, the W2k machine (via Samba) can see the ACL
settings that are applied to a file.

The problem arises when I try to change them from W2k. It silently fails
(from 2k's point of view), but in the log files I see something like
"unable to map SID [blah] to uid or gid". All my Googling simply
suggests that ACLs are not installed at all, which appears to be false...

(I'm using 2.2.7 on Debian unstable, manually compiled from source from
samba.org. I can't use 3.0pre (or whatever it's called) because the
"add
user script" option is broken - see my previous thread.)

Any ideas?
