SYNOPSIS
vfs objects = acl_xattr
DESCRIPTION
This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.
The vfs_acl_xattr VFS module stores NTFS Access Control Lists (ACLs) in
Extended Attributes (EAs). This enables the full mapping of Windows
ACLs on Samba servers.
The ACLs are stored in the Extended Attribute security.NTACL of a file
or directory. This Attribute is not listed by getfattr -d filename. To
show the current value, the name of the EA must be specified (e.g.
getfattr -n security.NTACL filename).
This module forces the following parameters:
· inherit acls = true
· dos filemode = true
· force unknown acl user = true
This module is stackable.
OPTIONS
acl_xattr:ignore system acls = [yes|no]
When set to yes, a best effort mapping from/to the POSIX ACL layer
will not be done by this module. The default is no, 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.
If acl_xattr:ignore system acls is set to yes, the following
additional settings will be enforced:
· create mask = 0666
· directory mask = 0777
· map archive = no
· map hidden = no
· map readonly = no
· map system = no
· store dos attributes = yes
acl_xattr:default acl style = [posix|windows]
This parameter determines the type of ACL that is synthesized in
case a file or directory lacks an security.NTACL xattr.
When set to posix, an ACL will be synthesized based on the POSIX
mode permissions for user, group and others, with an additional ACE
for NT Authority\SYSTEM will full rights.
When set to windows, an ACL is synthesized the same way Windows
does it, only including permissions for the owner and NT
Authority\SYSTEM.
The default for this option is posix.
