<para>
- This parameter controls what UNIX permission bits will be set 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 (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
- security mode"/>, which works in a manner similar to this one but uses a logical OR instead of an AND.
- </para>
-
- <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 0777, allowing a user to set all the user/group/world permissions on a file.
+ This parameter has been removed for Samba 4.0.0. The parameter
+ <smbconfoption name="create mask"/> is now used instead to mask
+ any permission bit changes on files.
</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 set to <constant>0777</constant>.
