Ah, the patch was for testing, not resting ... how could I get that mixed up.

I've applied your patch to the latest master branch, made it compile
again, and fixed a few obvious problems. The results I get with
smbcacls look reasonable now.

The code is here:
  https://github.com/andreas-gruenbacher/samba richacl

I've used the following smb.conf:
  [richacl]
  comment = Richacl directory
  path = /mnt/ext4
  vfs objects = richacl
  writeable = yes
  browseable = yes

Is there a particular reason why you didn't make vfs_richacl a
dynamically loadable module?

Thanks,
Andreas
