Why each option
When configuring Samba from its source code, the `configure` script option `--with-acl-support` is used to enable comprehensive support for managing filesystem Access Control Lists (ACLs). This ensures Samba can correctly handle and propagate ACLs between clients and the underlying filesystem.
`-fs-acl` is not the standard or correct `configure` option for enabling ACL support in Samba; `configure` options typically follow a specific `--with-` or `--enable-` format.
When compiling Samba, the `configure` script option `--with-acl-support` is specifically designed to enable the build with support for managing filesystem ACLs. This ensures that Samba can correctly interpret and apply Windows-style ACLs to the underlying Unix filesystem, which is crucial for maintaining accurate file permissions.
`-ms-acl` is not the standard or correct `configure` option for enabling ACL support in Samba; the standard option provides general ACL support.
`-with-fs-acl` is a plausible but incorrect option; the precise and commonly recognized `configure` option for enabling ACL support in Samba is `--with-acl-support`.
