+ <para>Under DOS and Windows, if a user can write to a
+ file they can change the timestamp on it. Under POSIX semantics,
+ only the owner of the file or root may change the timestamp. By
+ default, Samba runs with POSIX semantics and refuses to change the
+ timestamp on a file if the user <command moreinfo="none">smbd</command> is acting
+ on behalf of is not the file owner. Setting this option to <constant>
+ yes</constant> allows DOS semantics and <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
+ <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> will change the file
+timestamp as DOS requires.</para>
