Table 2 New Parameters
DescriptionParameter
ACL
This boolean parameter controls what smbd does on receiving a protocol
request of "open for delete" from a Windows client.
If set to true (the default), then smbd checks the file system permissions
directly on "open for delete" and denies the request without actually
deleting the file. If this parameter is set to false, Samba doesn't check
permissions on "open for delete" and allows the open.
acl check permissions
This boolean parameter controls whether smbd maps a POSIX ACE entry
of "rwx" (read/write/execute), the maximum allowed POSIX permission
set, into a Windows ACL of "FULL CONTROL". The default value is True.
acl map full control
This is a boolean variable. In the POSIX filesystem, only the owner of a
file or directory and the super-user can modify the permissions and ACLs
on a file. If this parameter is set, then Samba overrides this restriction, and
allows the primary group owner of a file or directory to modify the
permissions and ACLs on that file. The default setting is No.
acl group control
Authentication and Session Setup
This boolean variable controls whether Samba substitutes %-macros in
the passdb fields if they are explicitly set. The default value is No.
passdb expand explicit
This boolean variable controls whether an incoming session setup will
kill other connections coming from the same IP.
If set it to yes, the client sends a zero VC on the new connection, and CIFS
server kills all other connections coming from the same IP. In this way,
the locked files are accessible again. The default setting is No.
reset on zero vc
