3 The format of ACLs is described in the section ACL FORMAT </p><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term">-a|--add acls</span></dt><dd><p>Add the ACLs specified to the ACL list. Existing
4 access control entries are unchanged. </p></dd><dt><span class="term">-M|--modify acls</span></dt><dd><p>Modify the mask value (permissions) for the ACLs
5 specified on the command line. An error will be printed for each
6 ACL specified that was not already present in the ACL list
7 </p></dd><dt><span class="term">-D|--delete acls</span></dt><dd><p>Delete any ACLs specified on the command line.
8 An error will be printed for each ACL specified that was not
9 already present in the ACL list. </p></dd><dt><span class="term">-S|--set acls</span></dt><dd><p>This command sets the ACLs on the file with

11 erased. Note that the ACL specified must contain at least a revision,
12 type, owner and group for the call to succeed. </p></dd><dt><span class="term">-C|--chown name</span></dt><dd><p>The owner of a file or directory can be changed
13 to the name given using the <em class="parameter"><code>-C</code></em> option.
14 The name can be a sid in the form S-1-x-y-z or a name resolved
15 against the server specified in the first argument. </p><p>This command is a shortcut for -M OWNER:name.
16 </p></dd><dt><span class="term">-G|--chgrp name</span></dt><dd><p>The group owner of a file or directory can
17 be changed to the name given using the <em class="parameter"><code>-G</code></em>
18 option. The name can be a sid in the form S-1-x-y-z or a name
19 resolved against the server specified n the first argument.

28not specified is 0.</p><p>The higher this value, the more detail will be
29logged to the log files about the activities of the
30server. At level 0, only critical errors and serious
31warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable level for
32day-to-day running - it generates a small amount of
33information about operations carried out.</p><p>Levels above 1 will generate considerable
34amounts of log data, and should only be used when
35investigating a problem. Levels above 3 are designed for
36use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts of log
37data, most of which is extremely cryptic.</p><p>Note that specifying this parameter here will
38override the <a class="link" href="smb.conf.5.html#" target="_top"></a> parameter
39in the <code class="filename">smb.conf</code> file.</p></dd><dt><span class="term">-V|--version</span></dt><dd><p>Prints the program version number.

43information such as what printcap file to use, as well
44as descriptions of all the services that the server is
45to provide. See <code class="filename">smb.conf</code> for more information.

47compile time.</p></dd><dt><span class="term">-l|--log-basename=logdirectory</span></dt><dd><p>Base directory name for log/debug files. The extension
48<code class="constant">".progname"</code> will be appended (e.g. log.smbclient,

51password prompt from the client to the user. This is useful when
52accessing a service that does not require a password. </p><p>Unless a password is specified on the command line or
53this parameter is specified, the client will request a
54password.</p><p>If a password is specified on the command line and this

56be silently ingnored and no password will be used.</p></dd><dt><span class="term">-k|--kerberos</span></dt><dd><p>
57Try to authenticate with kerberos. Only useful in
58an Active Directory environment.

69access from unwanted users. </p></dd><dt><span class="term">-U|--user=username[%password]</span></dt><dd><p>Sets the SMB username or username and password. </p><p>If %password is not specified, the user will be prompted. The
70client will first check the <code class="envar">USER</code> environment variable, then the
71<code class="envar">LOGNAME</code> variable and if either exists, the
72string is uppercased. If these environmental variables are not
73found, the username <code class="constant">GUEST</code> is used. </p><p>A third option is to use a credentials file which
74contains the plaintext of the username and password. This
75option is mainly provided for scripts where the admin does not
76wish to pass the credentials on the command line or via environment
77variables. If this method is used, make certain that the permissions
78on the file restrict access from unwanted users. See the
79<em class="parameter"><code>-A</code></em> for more details. </p><p>Be cautious about including passwords in scripts. Also, on
80many systems the command line of a running process may be seen
81via the <code class="literal">ps</code> command. To be safe always allow
82<code class="literal">rpcclient</code> to prompt for a password and type
83it in directly. </p></dd></dl></div></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2481709"></a><h2>ACL FORMAT</h2><p>The format of an ACL is one or more ACL entries separated by
84 either commas or newlines. An ACL entry is one of the following: </p><pre class="programlisting">
85REVISION:&lt;revision number&gt;
86OWNER:&lt;sid or name&gt;
87GROUP:&lt;sid or name&gt;
88ACL:&lt;sid or name&gt;:&lt;type&gt;/&lt;flags&gt;/&lt;mask&gt;
89</pre><p>The revision of the ACL specifies the internal Windows
90 NT ACL revision for the security descriptor.
91 If not specified it defaults to 1. Using values other than 1 may
92 cause strange behaviour. </p><p>The owner and group specify the owner and group sids for the
93 object. If a SID in the format S-1-x-y-z is specified this is used,
94 otherwise the name specified is resolved using the server on which
95 the file or directory resides. </p><p>ACLs specify permissions granted to the SID. This SID again
96 can be specified in S-1-x-y-z format or as a name in which case
97 it is resolved against the server on which the file or directory
98 resides. The type, flags and mask values determine the type of
99 access granted to the SID. </p><p>The type can be either ALLOWED or DENIED to allow/deny access
100 to the SID. The flags values are generally zero for file ACLs and
101 either 9 or 2 for directory ACLs. Some common flags are: </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><code class="constant">#define SEC_ACE_FLAG_OBJECT_INHERIT 0x1</code></p></li><li><p><code class="constant">#define SEC_ACE_FLAG_CONTAINER_INHERIT 0x2</code></p></li><li><p><code class="constant">#define SEC_ACE_FLAG_NO_PROPAGATE_INHERIT 0x4</code></p></li><li><p><code class="constant">#define SEC_ACE_FLAG_INHERIT_ONLY 0x8</code></p></li></ul></div><p>At present flags can only be specified as decimal or
102 hexadecimal values.</p><p>The mask is a value which expresses the access right
103 granted to the SID. It can be given as a decimal or hexadecimal value,
104 or by using one of the following text strings which map to the NT
105 file permissions of the same name. </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>R</em></span> - Allow read access </p></li><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>W</em></span> - Allow write access</p></li><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>X</em></span> - Execute permission on the object</p></li><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>D</em></span> - Delete the object</p></li><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>P</em></span> - Change permissions</p></li><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>O</em></span> - Take ownership</p></li></ul></div><p>The following combined permissions can be specified:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>READ</em></span> - Equivalent to 'RX'
106 permissions</p></li><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>CHANGE</em></span> - Equivalent to 'RXWD' permissions
107 </p></li><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>FULL</em></span> - Equivalent to 'RWXDPO'
108 permissions</p></li></ul></div></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2481873"></a><h2>EXIT STATUS</h2><p>The <code class="literal">smbcacls</code> program sets the exit status
109 depending on the success or otherwise of the operations performed.
110 The exit status may be one of the following values. </p><p>If the operation succeeded, smbcacls returns and exit
111 status of 0. If <code class="literal">smbcacls</code> couldn't connect to the specified server,
112 or there was an error getting or setting the ACLs, an exit status
113 of 1 is returned. If there was an error parsing any command line
114 arguments, an exit status of 2 is returned. </p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2481906"></a><h2>VERSION</h2><p>This man page is correct for version 3 of the Samba suite.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2481916"></a><h2>AUTHOR</h2><p>The original Samba software and related utilities
