Hmmm...but in your original post, you posted an ACL on
a directory. So what do you mean by no ACL present?
If you enable acls in smbd, smb.conf and when mounting
the fs, ACLs are present.

If you mean, no default named mask for the owner,
how can you tell between a file that has not had such
an ACE assigned and one that has had the ACE explicitly
removed?

Sorry, but what you are asking for is too ambigous. If
you want ACLs, you have to deal with the Windows security
model which distinguishes between an ACE that applies
to the folder itself and one that applies to any entries
within the folder. I don't see any way around this.
