What I meant was: the vfs_acl_xattr is a very good idea. Is there some other way to get/set the ACLs it stores other than using the Windows graphic interface on a Windows client machine? If not, that's what I find uncomfortable with this solution. That's why I asked for a command line tool to get/set the ACLs from the *nix server side.

There is the smbcacls tool that already ships with Samba.
It works via smbd, not directly on the xattr's, but I think
that's probably the right way to do it.

Ok, we're on the right track now. Do you mean that smbcacls is compatible with the use of the vfs_acl_xattr module? Will the ACLs set with that tool be passed to the module and stored in Extended Attributes?

I find smbcacls a very "unfriendly" utility... I couldn't find a way to read the ACLs when using the vfs module. My fault probably, I never really tried hard...
