Yes, the problem is integration into samba/netatalk... I don't know much about
this so far. I'll
ask if there is or will be acl-support in netatalk.

Samba is quite easy (admin users = @admingroup) giving root privileges to
users, and if it's
restricted to samba-dirs, not too dangerous (admins even don't have a shell).

That was my last try, changed netatalk to allow root logins, set all admin uids
to 0, but
netatalk doesn't use the unix permission system giving uid0 root access to all
files...
It treats root like an ordinary user named root, group root.

I hope so!
Thank you, CU, Lars.
