3 <listitem><para>Under DOS and Windows, if a user can write to a
4 file they can change the timestamp on it. Under POSIX semantics,
5 only the owner of the file or root may change the timestamp. By
6 default, Samba runs with POSIX semantics and refuses to change the
7 timestamp on a file if the user <command moreinfo="none">smbd</command> is acting
8 on behalf of is not the file owner. Setting this option to <constant>
9 yes</constant> allows DOS semantics and <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
10 <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> will change the file
11 timestamp as DOS requires.</para>
