[PATCH] reject ACLs with DESC_DACL_PROTECTED on GPFS

[Christian M Ambach-2]

Hi list,

the attach patch improves the behaviour of Samba on GPFS when the
DESC_DACL_PROTECTED flag is set in an ACL that is to be set.
As this flag does not have an equivalent in GPFS it currently is silently
ignored leading to user confusion that the checkbox that they just
disabled immediately comes back.

With the patch, Samba will return NT_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED in such cases.



Regards,

Christian Ambach
