+<description>
+ <para>This parameter controls what UNIX permission bits
+ can be modified when a Windows NT client is manipulating the UNIX
+ permission on a directory using the native NT security dialog
+ box.</para>
+
+ <para>This parameter is applied as a mask (AND'ed with) to
+ the changed permission bits, thus preventing any bits not in
+ this mask from being modified. Essentially, zero bits in this
+ mask may be treated as a set of bits the user is not allowed
+ to change.</para>
+
+ <para>If not set explicitly this parameter is set to 0777
+ meaning a user is allowed to modify all the user/group/world
+ permissions on a directory.</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
+ it as the default of <constant>0777</constant>.</para>
