+ In a POSIX filesystem, only the owner of a file or directory and the superuser can modify the permissions

+ On a Windows server, groups may be the owner of a file or directory - thus allowing anyone in

+ This parameter is best used with the <smbconfoption name="inherit owner"/> option and also

+ The Samba-specific encryption of SMB1 connections is an
+ extension to the SMB protocol negotiated as part of the UNIX
+ extensions. SMB encryption uses the GSSAPI (SSPI on Windows)
+ ability to encrypt and sign every request/response in a SMB
+ protocol stream. When enabled it provides a secure method of
+ SMB/CIFS communication, similar to an ssh protected session, but
+ using SMB/CIFS authentication to negotiate encryption and
+ signing keys. Currently this is only supported smbclient of by
+ Samba 3.2 and newer, and hopefully soon Linux CIFSFS and MacOS/X
+ clients. Windows clients do not support this feature.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>This may be set on a per-share
+ basis, but clients may chose to encrypt the entire session, not
+ just traffic to a specific share. If this is set to mandatory
+ then all traffic to a share <emphasis>must</emphasis>
+ be encrypted once the connection has been made to the share.
+ The server would return "access denied" to all non-encrypted
+ requests on such a share. Selecting encrypted traffic reduces
+ throughput as smaller packet sizes must be used (no huge UNIX
+ style read/writes allowed) as well as the overhead of encrypting
+ and signing all the data.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If SMB encryption is selected, Windows style SMB signing (see
+ the <smbconfoption name="server signing"/> option) is no longer
+ necessary, as the GSSAPI flags use select both signing and
+ sealing of the data.

+ xmlns:samba="http://www.samba.org/samba/DTD/samba-doc">
+<description>
+ <para>
+ This option allows you to specify a file containing a mapping of usernames from the clients to the server.
+ This can be used for several purposes. The most common is to map usernames that users use on DOS or Windows
+ machines to those that the UNIX box uses. The other is to map multiple users to a single username so that they
+ can more easily share files.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Please note that for user mode security, the username map is applied prior to validating the user
+ credentials. Domain member servers (domain or ads) apply the username map after the user has been
+ successfully authenticated by the domain controller and require fully qualified entries in the map table (e.g.
+ biddle = <literal>DOMAIN\foo</literal>).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The map file is parsed line by line. Each line should contain a single UNIX username on the left then a '='
+ followed by a list of usernames on the right. The list of usernames on the right may contain names of the form
+ @group in which case they will match any UNIX username in that group. The special client name '*' is a
+ wildcard and matches any name. Each line of the map file may be up to 1023 characters long.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The file is processed on each line by taking the supplied username and comparing it with each username on the
+ right hand side of the '=' signs. If the supplied name matches any of the names on the right hand side then it
+ is replaced with the name on the left. Processing then continues with the next line.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If any line begins with a '#' or a ';' then it is ignored.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If any line begins with an '!' then the processing will stop after that line if a mapping was done by the
+ line. Otherwise mapping continues with every line being processed. Using '!' is most useful when you have a
+ wildcard mapping line later in the file.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ For example to map from the name <constant>admin</constant> or <constant>administrator</constant> to the UNIX
+ name <constant> root</constant> you would use:
+<programlisting>
+<command moreinfo="none">root = admin administrator</command>
+</programlisting>
+ Or to map anyone in the UNIX group <constant>system</constant> to the UNIX name <constant>sys</constant> you would use:
+<programlisting>
+<command moreinfo="none">sys = @system</command>
+</programlisting>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You can have as many mappings as you like in a username map file.
+ </para>
+
+
+ <para>
+ If your system supports the NIS NETGROUP option then the netgroup database is checked before the <filename
+ moreinfo="none">/etc/group </filename> database for matching groups.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You can map Windows usernames that have spaces in them by using double quotes around the name. For example:
+<programlisting>
+<command moreinfo="none">tridge = &quot;Andrew Tridgell&quot;</command>
+</programlisting>
+ would map the windows username &quot;Andrew Tridgell&quot; to the unix username &quot;tridge&quot;.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The following example would map mary and fred to the unix user sys, and map the rest to guest. Note the use of the
+ '!' to tell Samba to stop processing if it gets a match on that line:
+<programlisting format="linespecific">
+!sys = mary fred
+guest = *
+</programlisting>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Note that the remapping is applied to all occurrences of usernames. Thus if you connect to \\server\fred and
+ <constant>fred</constant> is remapped to <constant>mary</constant> then you will actually be connecting to
+ \\server\mary and will need to supply a password suitable for <constant>mary</constant> not
+ <constant>fred</constant>. The only exception to this is the
+ username passed to a Domain Controller (if you have one). The DC will receive whatever username the client
+ supplies without modification.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Also note that no reverse mapping is done. The main effect this has is with printing. Users who have been
+ mapped may have trouble deleting print jobs as PrintManager under WfWg will think they don't own the print
+ job.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Samba versions prior to 3.0.8 would only support reading the fully qualified username
+ (e.g.: <literal>DOMAIN\user</literal>) from
+ the username map when performing a kerberos login from a client. However, when looking up a map entry for a
+ user authenticated by NTLM[SSP], only the login name would be used for matches. This resulted in inconsistent
+ behavior sometimes even on the same server.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The following functionality is obeyed in version 3.0.8 and later:
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When performing local authentication, the username map is applied to the login name before attempting to authenticate
+ the connection.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When relying upon a external domain controller for validating authentication requests, smbd will apply the username map
+ to the fully qualified username (i.e. <literal>DOMAIN\user</literal>) only after the user has been successfully authenticated.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ An example of use is:
+<programlisting>
+username map = /usr/local/samba/lib/users.map
