+ <listitem><para>This parameter controls what UNIX permission
+ bits can be modified when a Windows NT client is manipulating
+ the UNIX permission on a file using the native NT security dialog
+ box.</para>
+
+ <para>This parameter is applied as a mask (OR'ed with) to the
+ changed permission bits, thus forcing any bits in this mask that
+ the user may have modified to be on. Essentially, one bits in this
+ mask may be treated as a set of bits that, when modifying security
+ on a file, the user has always set to be 'on'.</para>
+
+ <para>If not set explicitly this parameter is set to 0,
+ and allows a user to modify all the user/group/world permissions on a file,
+ with no restrictions.</para>
+
+ <para><emphasis>Note</emphasis> that users who can access
+ the Samba server through other means can easily bypass this restriction,
+ so it is primarily useful for standalone &quot;appliance&quot; systems.
+ Administrators of most normal systems will probably want to leave
+ this set to 0000.</para>
