NAME

       vfs_acl_xattr - Save NTFS-ACLs in Extended Attributes (EAs)

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 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.
