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