+<description>
+ <para>
+ If this parameter is set, a Windows NT ACL that contains an unknown SID (security descriptor, or
+ representation of a user or group id) as the owner or group owner of the file will be silently
+ mapped into the current UNIX uid or gid of the currently connected user.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This is designed to allow Windows NT clients to copy files and folders containing ACLs that were
+ created locally on the client machine and contain users local to that machine only (no domain
+ users) to be copied to a Samba server (usually with XCOPY /O) and have the unknown userid and
+ groupid of the file owner map to the current connected user. This can only be fixed correctly
+ when winbindd allows arbitrary mapping from any Windows NT SID to a UNIX uid or gid.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Try using this parameter when XCOPY /O gives an ACCESS_DENIED error.
