30.SH "NAME"
31vfs_acl_xattr \- Save NTFS\-ACLs in Extended Attributes (EAs)
32.SH "SYNOPSIS"
33.HP \w'\ 'u
34vfs objects = acl_xattr
35.SH "DESCRIPTION"
36.PP
37This VFS module is part of the
38\fBsamba\fR(7)
39suite\&.
40.PP
41The
42vfs_acl_xattr
43VFS module stores NTFS Access Control Lists (ACLs) in Extended Attributes (EAs)\&. This enables the full mapping of Windows ACLs on Samba servers\&.
44.PP
45The ACLs are stored in the Extended Attribute
46\fIsecurity\&.NTACL\fR
47of a file or directory\&. This Attribute is
48\fInot\fR
49listed by
50getfattr \-d filename\&. To show the current value, the name of the EA must be specified (e\&.g\&.
51getfattr \-n security\&.NTACL filename)\&.
52.PP
53This module is stackable\&.
54.SH "OPTIONS"
55.PP
56acl_xattr:ignore system acls = [yes|no]
57.RS 4
58When set to
59\fIyes\fR, a best effort mapping from/to the POSIX ACL layer will
60\fInot\fR
61be done by this module\&. The default is
62\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\&.
63.RE
64.SH "AUTHOR"
65.PP
66The 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\&.
