Purpose: Create a File Server that can replace our windows file server.

System Details:
RedHat 8
Kernel 2.4.18-18 SGI XFS 1.2.0
2 disks
1 for the filesystem ext3
1 for the shares using xfs

Most of the threads and articles I read about doing this told me that I
had to recompile the kernel for acl support. Then I found a post that
mention that XFS has built in ACL support. Which it does. Currently I am
trying to get samba to work with the acl's

What I have done so far:

Installed all related rpm's
Joined Domain
Set Up Windbind
Tested account synchronization
Installed Samba
Set up shares
Set ACL's for share root dir through linux

The permisions that I set through linux work perfectly. The people who
should have access to a particular share do and those who shouldn't don't.
As I understand it you should then be able to set permisions on files
within those directories as if they were on a windows server, but the
permissions that show up are

unix_group 109 (server\unix_group 109)

I may not have configured samba with acl support
./configure --with-acl-support
So I went back and tried running that line.
It reported:
checking whether to support ACLs... checking for acl_get_file in -lacl...
(cached) no
checking for ACL support... (cached) no

Now I'm not sure where to go from here. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Brett

The configure script is picking up the old value in it's cache. Delete
config.cache and run configure again.
Aren't caches wonderful?

Deleted the file
Re-ran the ./configure --with-acl-support
same results:

checking whether to support ACLs... checking for acl_get_file in -lacl... no
checking for ACL support... no

You need to install the bestbits acls package libraries. The Red Hat
paackages are called: acls and acls-devel (possibly without the 's'.
