VFS_ACL_XATTR(1M) System Administration tools VFS_ACL_XATTR(1M)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.
AUTHOR
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
┌────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────────┐
│ ATTRIBUTE TYPE │ ATTRIBUTE VALUE │

NOTES
Source code for Samba is available in the SUNWsmbaS package.
Samba(7) delivers the set of four SMF(5) services as can be seen from
the following example:
$ svcs samba wins winbind swat
STATE STIME FMRI
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/samba:default
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/winbind:default
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/wins:default
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/swat:default
where the services are:
"samba"
runs the smbd daemon managing the CIFS sessions
"wins"
runs the nmbd daemon enabling the browsing (WINS)
"winbind"
runs the winbindd daemon making the domain idmap
"swat"
Samba Web Administration Tool is a service providing access to
browser-based Samba administration interface and on-line
documentation. The service runs on software loopback network
interface on port 901/tcp, i.e. opening "http://localhost:901/" in
browser will access the SWAT service on local machine.
Please note: SWAT uses HTTP Basic Authentication scheme where user name
and passwords are sent over the network in clear text. In the SWAT case
the user name is root. Transferring such sensitive data is advisable
only on the software loopback network interface or over secure
networks.
