Motivated by a desire to stay employed, I have now accomplished what I set out to do. Using the tdb API, reading records from file_ntacls.tdb was a bit easier than expected. Using the setxattr system call, writing an ACL to an extended attribute, such that the acl_xattr module correctly reads the ACEs, was much easier than expected. I was able to copy the ACL data from the TDB to the EA with no translation or reformatting. To get started, I used source3/utils/smbcacls.c as a template utility program. I studied the tdb API. For guidance on how to open and read file_ntacls.tdb, I studied source3/modules/vfs_acl_tdb.c and source3/modules/vfs_acl_common.c. For guidance on how to write an ACL to an extended attribute, I studied source3/modules/vfs_acl_xattr.c. I'm still testing, but it's looking good. Thanks to everybody for patiently answering my questions and offering help. stic -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
