7 <para>If this parameter is set, a Windows NT ACL that contains an unknown
8 SID (security descriptor, or representation of a user or group
9 id) as the owner or group owner of the file will be silently
10 mapped into the current UNIX uid or gid of the currently
11 connected user.</para>
13 <para>This is designed to allow Windows NT clients to copy files and
14 folders containing ACLs that were created locally on the client
15 machine and contain users local to that machine only (no domain
16 users) to be copied to a Samba server (usually with XCOPY /O)
17 and have the unknown userid and groupid of the file owner map to
18 the current connected user. This can only be fixed correctly
19 when winbindd allows arbitrary mapping from any Windows NT SID
20 to a UNIX uid or gid.</para>
22 <para>Try using this parameter when XCOPY /O gives an ACCESS_DENIED
