Hi Michael, thanks for your reply. I have gone further with experimenting. I have given up the ntfs FS and sucessfuly set up serving files from ext3 filesystem setting ntvfs handler = linuxuid. Maybe the ntfs didnt work because the ntfs acl handler is not yet completed. It is possible but there is no information about that nowhere. That why I asked on this forum. For those who experiments as well with ntfs maybe useful info that I forgot to add into my orig question: I had ntfs-3g driver to handle the ntfs partition. I don't actully know if it supports ACL but expect it does. Maybe another usefull note: When I wanted to set share's permissions from windows box I have all relevant buttons and controls on the win GUI disabled. Later on I found out my stupid mistake: I forgot to add "readonly = No" declaration into the shares definition in smb.conf. WHen I have done it I was able to set up the permissions. It costed me lots of energy so be carefull with proper setting smb.conf.
