+ <para>Under DOS and Windows, if a user can write to a
+ file they can change the timestamp on it. Under POSIX semantics,
+ only the owner of the file or root may change the timestamp. By
+ default, Samba emulates the DOS semantics and allows one to change the
+ timestamp on a file if the user <command moreinfo="none">smbd</command> is acting
+ on behalf has write permissions.
+ Due to changes in Microsoft Office 2000 and beyond,
+ the default for this parameter has been changed from "no" to "yes" in Samba 3.0.14
+ and above. Microsoft Excel will display dialog box warnings about the file being
+ changed by another user if this parameter is not set to "yes" and files are being
+ shared between users.
