samba - Jan 2005 - ACL Win XP problem

Ok, I've been searching Google for two days and can't seem to find an 
answer for this. I want to use ACL's, but I need to be able to 
administer them in Win XP. My distro is Suse 9.1 and I'm running a 
standalone Samba server.

I can create acl's just fine in Linux/shell, and when I view a file in 
the Security tab I can see and edit all the ACL parameter's just fine. 
However, when I attempt to add a user I get a box asking me to search 
for a user name. When I enter a username I then get a box that asks for 
a username and password. However, no matter what username and password I 
put in here I still get a message back that it cannot find the
"object".

As I've read through the posts about this in the past everything seems 
to revolve around having a domain running, which we do not/cannot have. 
Is it possible to add users to an file's ACL with a standalone samba 
server? And if so, is there a configuration part that you need in order 
to add users?

Thanks,

Jamison Stepan

Hello Jamison,

I'm not if I'm right, but if you want tosearch for a username when you
want
to set acl, you have to do this as root. So if the popup comes up, try 
username root and the password of root. Then you will see al users and you 
can add / modify and so on.
