Your best bet would be to try using the latest XFS CVS in combination with the
latest SAMBA_2_2 CVS download. Both of these have had related improvements
since the official releases of both XFS 1.0 and Samba 2.2.0. I know that we
(Connex) are using this type of combination for allowing domain members to
change NT-like ACLs on Samba 2.2.0 (using a 2.4.3 CVS of XFS and a more recent
CVS of Samba).
I also wonder if using the TNG as the PDC server is causing problems with the
domain users/groups.... My truck is in the 'shop' and I am away from our PDC so
I can't test how that all works today. I'll look at it tomorrow if you send me
a reminder.
