Hi

I am trying to change the ACL for a Active Directory group using Perl on Linux. The problem is that there are no Perl bindings for Samba and I couldn't find any UNIX compatible module that can help to do this.

This is the same as setting "Managed By" and then clicking "(X) Manager can update membership list" in the AD admin tools. 

# ldapmodify -x -h Server -W -D "Domain\User" -f update.ldif

--- update.ldif
dn: CN=Group,OU=Location,DC=Domain,DC=Local
changetype: modify
replace: managedBy
managedBy: CN=User,CN=Users,DC=Domain,DC=Local
----

# ldapsearch -LLL -x -h Server -p 3268 -W -b "DC=Domain,DC=Local" -D "
+Domain\User" "(&(CN=Group)(ntSecurityDescriptor=*))" ntSecurityDescri
+ptor

dn: CN=Group,OU=Location,DC=Domain,DC=Local
nTSecurityDescriptor:: EaKFAKoAMEDAAAAAAAEALQAAAUAOAAAAAUAOAAAAAUAOAAA
+AAUAOADA

Does anyone have a good advice as how to easiest solve this. I would like to avoid writing a module that actually interprets the binary info.
