21.SH "NAME"
22vfs_acl_xattr \- Save NTFS\-ACLs in Extended Attributes (EAs)
23.SH "SYNOPSIS"

26.SH "DESCRIPTION"
27.PP
28This VFS module is part of the
29\fBsamba\fR(7)
30suite\&.
31.PP
32The
33vfs_acl_xattr
34VFS module stores NTFS Access Control Lists (ACLs) in Extended Attributes (EAs)\&. This enables the full mapping of Windows ACLs on Samba servers\&.
35.PP
36The ACLs are stored in the Extended Attribute
37\fIsecurity\&.NTACL\fR
38of a file or directory\&. This Attribute is
39\fInot\fR
40listed by
41getfattr \-d filename\&. To show the current value, the name of the EA must be specified (e\&.g\&.
42getfattr \-n security\&.NTACL filename)\&.
43.PP
44This module is stackable\&.
45.SH "OPTIONS"
46.PP
47acl_xattr:ignore system acls = [yes|no]
48.RS 4
49When set to
50\fIyes\fR, a best effort mapping from/to the POSIX ACL layer will
51\fInot\fR
52be done by this module\&. The default is
53\fIno\fR, 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\&.
54.RE
55.SH "AUTHOR"
56.PP
57The 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\&.
