Hello,
I'm running samba 2.2.2 on a Linux Debian Woody System and encountered some
problems.

First of all my settings:
        Linux 2.4.12 SMP + XFS + ACL Patch
        libc6 2.2.4-3
        gcc-2.95 2.95.4-0.01100
        acl, acl-dev 1.1.3-0
        xfsprogs, xfslibs-dev 1.3.5-0

I rebuilt the packages acl, acl-dev from oss.sgi.com and samba as debian
packages.
The ACLs and XFS seem work fine and pretty fast.

I built 4 different version of samba for testing (the filename describes the
additional configure options):

samba_2.2.2-1_i386.deb
samba_2.2.2-acl-1_i386.deb
samba_2.2.2-acl-ssl-1_i386.deb
samba_2.2.2-ssl-1_i386.deb

On all versions of samba the following problems occured:

Groupmemberships ignored:
-------------------------
The users on my server are members of different groups. The primary group is
the userid itself (debian like). There is a specil group calles "smbdomadm"
which decides whether a domain user has admin rights or not.
When I am logging in from a Windows NT Client the following message appears
in "log.smb":
4 user groups:
  1001 10010 20000 22000

Group 10010 is "smbdomadm". But after logging in the user doesn't have admin
rights. The "User manager for domains" says: User XXX has primary group 1001
and is member of users which has gid 100 and is not right.

So samba seems to ignore the group memberships and the "domain admin group"
in smb.conf.

By the way I tried to reduce the membership of user XXX to 1001 (primary)
and 10010 (other) but nothing changed.

ACLs do not work:
-----------------
When I use the ACL capable versions of samba the file security dialog under
Windows NT does not show the correct ACLs.
I use Default ACLs. Perhaps this causes problems under windows NT.


There are more problems I encounterd. But I think they are not the reason
for the ones I wrote about .

Thanks a lot for your help (I hope so),

Joerg

P.S.: Sorry for my english.
