Don't know if there's a backport. Also you may want to use a relatively new kernel and use the ACL patches. Then you also would need newer libc and coreutils (file-/shell-/textutils in woody). With samba 3, ACL is quite complete, changing ACLs works from the windows clients. Don't know about rsync/tar/..., however. [unprotected network] Hmmm. Do *not* *ever* use NFS in such an environment, I guess. Have the Linux clients use samba, too (Dunno anything about samba at its security, though). Perhaps you want to set up the communication between the server and the clients over IPSec? (If you're going to use woody, that means patching the kernel, too. 2.6.x kernel and iirc newest 2.4. kernel have builtin support for KAME). cheers -- vbi -- Today is Sweetmorn, the 18th day of Discord in the YOLD 3170
