+ <para>This boolean parameter controls whether <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
+ <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ This boolean parameter was added to fix the problems that people have been
+ having with storing user profiles on Samba shares from Windows 2000 or
+ Windows XP clients. New versions of Windows 2000 or Windows XP service
+ packs do security ACL checking on the owner and ability to write of the
+ profile directory stored on a local workstation when copied from a Samba
+ share. When not in domain mode with winbindd then the security info copied
+ onto the local workstation has no meaning to the logged in user (SID) on
+ that workstation so the profile storing fails. Adding this parameter
+ onto a share used for profile storage changes two things about the
+ returned Windows ACL. Firstly it changes the owner and group owner
+ of all reported files and directories to be BUILTIN\\Administrators,
+ BUILTIN\\Users respectively (SIDs S-1-5-32-544, S-1-5-32-545). Secondly
+ it adds an ACE entry of "Full Control" to the SID BUILTIN\\Users to
+ every returned ACL. This will allow any Windows 2000 or XP workstation
+ user to access the profile. Note that if you have multiple users logging
+ on to a workstation then in order to prevent them from being able to access
+ each others profiles you must remove the "Bypass traverse checking" advanced
+ user right. This will prevent access to other users profile directories as
+ the top level profile directory (named after the user) is created by the
+ workstation profile code and has an ACL restricting entry to the directory
+ tree to the owning user.
