[Wojtak, Greg]

'It's "Red Hat," not "Red HATE."'

Apologies - inside joke between a friend of mine and me and I typed it
inadvertently.

It's "Red Hat," not "Red HATE."

See http://people.redhat.com/tcameron for a step by step on how to set
up Samba and AD with ACLs on the filesystem.  It was written with Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 4 but it still works the same on Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5.x.
