6 <para> The default behavior in Samba is to provide
7 UNIX-like behavior where only the owner of a file/directory is
8 able to change the permissions on it. However, this behavior
9 is often confusing to DOS/Windows users. Enabling this parameter
10 allows a user who has write access to the file (by whatever
11 means, including an ACL permission) to modify the permissions
12 (including ACL) on it. Note that a user belonging to the group
13 owning the file will not be allowed to change permissions if
14 the group is only granted read access. Ownership of the
15 file/directory may also be changed.
17 Note that using the VFS modules acl_xattr or acl_tdb which store native
18 Windows as meta-data will automatically turn this option on for any
19 share for which they are loaded, as they require this option to emulate
20 Windows ACLs correctly.
