Adding this parameter + onto a share used for profile storage changes two things about the + returned Windows ACL. Firstly it changes the owner and group owner + of all reported files and directories to be BUILTIN\\Administrators, + BUILTIN\\Users respectively (SIDs S-1-5-32-544, S-1-5-32-545). Secondly + it adds an ACE entry of "Full Control" to the SID BUILTIN\\Users to + every returned ACL. This will allow any Windows 2000 or XP workstation + user to access the profile.</para> + + <para>Note that if you have multiple users logging + on to a workstation then in order to prevent them from being able to access + each others profiles you must remove the "Bypass traverse checking" advanced + user right.
