samba - Feb 2003 - which ACL attributes are supported by Samba?

I've tried to determine this empirically, but have run foul of config
issues that won't be resolved in the immediate future. Basically, I
know that Samba + ACL + an acl-aware filesystem will allow me to
assign unix-style permissions to arbitrary groups of people for a
given file. However, Windows has additional permissions: delete, take
ownership, and, um, I think possibly one or two more. My question is
whether these are supported by Samba if I have extended attributes
switched on (which, as far as I can tell, should allow you to define
whatever attributes you like for any file)?

Cheers,
Waider.

you don't need ACL support for unix style permissions
(user, group, world)
ACLs are lists of arbitrary users that have the specified permissions on
the files you choose.

I don't use those permissions so i'm not sure that samba supports them
but i think it does...

I'm not going to get into some kind of petty fight with you.
It was not clear to me that you understood the difference between ACLs
and unix style permission and it's still not... So I responded to the
part of your question which I had useful input to.

I just tried to set an acl on "take ownership" it doesn't stick -
it
should.
Read and write attributes does stick.

I won't answer your questions in the future
