+ <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+
+ <para>This VFS module is part of the
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
+ <manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>
+
+ <para>This module is made for systems which do not support
+ standardized NFS4 ACLs but only a deprecated POSIX ACL
+ draft implementation. This is usually the case on Linux systems.
+ Systems that do support just use NFSv4 ACLs directly instead
+ of this module. Such support is usually provided by the filesystem
+ VFS module specific to the underlying filesystem that supports
+ NFS4 ACLs
+ </para>
+
+ <para>The <command>vfs_acl_xattr</command> VFS module stores
+ NTFS Access Control Lists (ACLs) in Extended Attributes (EAs).
+ This enables the full mapping of Windows ACLs on Samba
+ servers even if the ACL implementation is not capable of
+ doing so.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>The NT ACLs are stored in the
+ <parameter>security.NTACL</parameter> extended attribute of files and
+ directories in a form containing the Windows SID representing the users
+ and groups in the ACL.
+ This is different from the uid and gids stored in local filesystem ACLs
+ and the mapping from users and groups to Windows SIDs must be
+ consistent in order to maintain the meaning of the stored NT ACL
+ That extended attribute is <emphasis>not</emphasis> listed by the Linux
+ command <command>getfattr -d <filename>filename</filename></command>.
+ To show the current value, the name of the EA must be specified
+ (e.g. <command>getfattr -n security.NTACL <filename>filename</filename>
+ </command>).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This module forces the following parameters:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>inherit acls = true</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>dos filemode = true</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>force unknown acl user = true</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>

+ <para>This module is stackable.</para>

+ <title>OPTIONS</title>
+
+ <variablelist>
+ <!-- please keep in sync with the other acl vfs modules that provide the same options -->
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>acl_xattr:security_acl_name = NAME</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ This option allows to redefine the default location for the
+ NTACL extended attribute (xattr). If not set, NTACL xattrs are
+ written to security.NTACL which is a protected location, which
+ means the content of the security.NTACL attribute is not
+ accessible from normal users outside of Samba. When this option
+ is set to use a user-defined value, e.g. user.NTACL then any
+ user can potentially access and overwrite this information. The
+ module prevents access to this xattr over SMB, but the xattr may
+ still be accessed by other means (eg local access, SSH, NFS). This option must only be used
+ when this consequence is clearly understood and when specific precautions
+ are taken to avoid compromising the ACL content.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>acl_xattr:ignore system acls = [yes|no]</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ When set to <emphasis>yes</emphasis>, a best effort mapping
+ from/to the POSIX draft ACL layer will <emphasis>not</emphasis> be
+ done by this module. The default is <emphasis>no</emphasis>,
+ 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.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If <emphasis>acl_xattr:ignore system acls</emphasis>
+ is set to <emphasis>yes</emphasis>, the following
+ additional settings will be enforced:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>create mask = 0666</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>directory mask = 0777</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>map archive = no</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>map hidden = no</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>map readonly = no</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>map system = no</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>store dos attributes = yes</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>acl_xattr:default acl style = [posix|windows|everyone]</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ This parameter determines the type of ACL that is synthesized in
+ case a file or directory lacks an
+ <emphasis>security.NTACL</emphasis> xattr.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ When set to <emphasis>posix</emphasis>, an ACL will be
+ synthesized based on the POSIX mode permissions for user, group
+ and others, with an additional ACE for <emphasis>NT
+ Authority\SYSTEM</emphasis> will full rights.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ When set to <emphasis>windows</emphasis>, an ACL is synthesized
+ the same way Windows does it, only including permissions for the
+ owner and <emphasis>NT Authority\SYSTEM</emphasis>.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ When set to <emphasis>everyone</emphasis>, an ACL is synthesized
+ giving full permissions to everyone (S-1-1-0).
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The default for this option is <emphasis>posix</emphasis>.
