- <para>This parameter controls what UNIX permission bits
- will be set 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 incoming permission bits, thus resetting
- any bits not in this mask. Make sure not to mix up this parameter with <smbconfoption name="force
- directory security mode"/>, which works similar like this one but uses logical OR instead of AND.
- Essentially, zero bits in this mask are a set of bits that will always be set to zero.
- </para>
-
+ This parameter has been removed for Samba 4.0.0. The parameter
+ <smbconfoption name="directory mask"/> is now used instead to mask
+ any permission bit changes on directories.
<para>
- Essentially, all bits set to zero in this mask will result in setting to zero the corresponding bits on the
- file permissions regardless of the previous status of this bits on the file.
- </para>
-
- <para>If not set explicitly this parameter is set to 0777
- meaning a user is allowed to set 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>
