Mapping Windows XP directory inheritance values to POSIX
Under POSIX, default ACEs can apply to both files and subdirectories. In a Windows XP
environment, directory ACE entries differ from POSIX and use the following Windows Inheritance
Values (Apply To values in the Windows Advanced ACE screen) to distinguish access and
default behavior:
• This folder only
• This folder, subfolders and files
• This folder and subfolders
• This folder and files
• Subfolders and files only
• Subfolders only
• Files only
When a user attempts to change or add a directory ACE from the Windows Advanced ACE screen,
the HP CIFS Server maps the Windows Inheritance Values to the corresponding POSIX ACE
type.
The following table shows how Windows Inheritance Values are mapped to POSIX:
