This enables the full mapping of Windows ACLs on Samba servers. </p><p>The ACLs are stored in the Extended Attribute <em class="parameter"><code>security.NTACL</code></em> of a file or directory. This Attribute is <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> listed by <code class="literal">getfattr -d <code class="filename">filename</code></code>. To show the current value, the name of the EA must be specified (e.g. <code class="literal">getfattr -n security.NTACL <code class="filename">filename</code> </code>). </p><p>This module is stackable.</p></div><div class="refsect1" title="OPTIONS"><a name="id266863"></a><h2>OPTIONS</h2><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term">acl_xattr:ignore system acls = [yes|no]</span></dt><dd><p> When set to <span class="emphasis"><em>yes</em></span>, a best effort mapping from/to the POSIX ACL layer will <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> be done by this module. The default is <span class="emphasis"><em>no</em></span>, which means that Samba keeps setting and evaluating both the system ACLs and the NT ACLs. This is better if you need your system ACLs be set for local or NFS file access, too. If you only access the data via Samba you might set this to yes to achieve better NT ACL compatibility. </p></dd></dl></div></div><div class="refsect1" title="AUTHOR"><a name="id265697"></a><h2>AUTHOR</h2><p>The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell.
