correct '[abort] shutdown script' explanation (has been in 3.0.x
for a while now). add basic description of 'inherit owner' parameter (jra, feel free to add more to this for describing the drop-box scenario). (This used to be commit e23b9490ccd35634edbf99570f81810bd0c4052e)

+ <para>The ownership of new files and directories
+ is normally governed by effective uid of the connected user.
+ This option allows the Samba administrator to specify that
+ the ownership for new files and directories should be controlled
+ by the ownership of the parent directory.</para>
+
+ <para>Common scenarios where this behavior is useful is in
+ implementing drop-boxes where users can create and edit files but not
+ delete them and to ensure that newly create files in a user's
+ roaming profile directory are actually owner by the user.</para>
