You will need to run winbind (/etc/init.d/winbind script), make changes to /etc/nsswitch.conf to include winbind in passwd and group databases, have winbind specific entries in smb.conf and cifs.upcall binary (/usr/sbin/cifs.upcall) be running. And you will need to mount the share using mount option cifsacl. Basically, map a SID (owner SID, group SID, any SID in the (D)ACL) to either an uid or a gid using winbind APIs. If that fails (e.g. because winbind is not installed/running or winbind returns an error), try to obtain uid of 'nobody' and gid of 'nogroup'. And if that fails, kernel assigns uid and gid (from mount superblock).
