permissions and ownerships, yes.  acl's no.  So therefore yet another
hack.  See bash code segment below.

homedir="/shared"
DIRLIST=$(ls ${homedir} | grep -v printer24 | grep -v dfs)
rm -f ${homedir}/aclrestore-*
cd ${homedir}
for dir in ${DIRLIST}; do
  if [ -d ${homedir}/${dir} ]; then
    echo Createing aclresotre file ${homedir}/aclrestore-${dir} for\
${homedir}/${dir}
    /usr/bin/getfacl --skip-base -R ${dir} > \
${homedir}/aclrestore-${dir}
    /usr/bin/getfacl -R ${dir} > ${homedir}/aclrestore-wbase-${dir}
  fi
done
