	<title>ACL FORMAT</title>

	<para>The format of an ACL is one or more ACL entries separated by 
	either commas or newlines.  An ACL entry is one of the following: </para>

<para><programlisting> 
REVISION:&lt;revision number&gt;
OWNER:&lt;sid or name&gt;
GROUP:&lt;sid or name&gt;
ACL:&lt;sid or name&gt;:&lt;type&gt;/&lt;flags&gt;/&lt;mask&gt;
</programlisting></para>
  

	<para>The revision of the ACL specifies the internal Windows 
	NT ACL revision for the security descriptor.  
	If not specified it defaults to 1.  Using values other than 1 may 
	cause strange behaviour. </para>

	<para>The owner and group specify the owner and group sids for the 
	object.  If a SID in the format S-1-x-y-z is specified this is used, 
	otherwise the name specified is resolved using the server on which 
	the file or directory resides. </para>

	<para>ACLs specify permissions granted to the SID.  This SID again 
	can be specified in S-1-x-y-z format or as a name in which case 
	it is resolved against the server on which the file or directory 
	resides.  The type, flags and mask values determine the type of 
	access granted to the SID. </para>

	<para>The type can be either ALLOWED or	DENIED to allow/deny access 
	to the SID. The flags values are generally zero for file ACLs and 
	either 9 or 2 for directory ACLs.  Some common flags are: </para>

	<itemizedlist> 
		<listitem><para><constant>#define SEC_ACE_FLAG_OBJECT_INHERIT     	0x1</constant></para></listitem>
		<listitem><para><constant>#define SEC_ACE_FLAG_CONTAINER_INHERIT  	0x2</constant></para></listitem>
		<listitem><para><constant>#define SEC_ACE_FLAG_NO_PROPAGATE_INHERIT     0x4</constant></para></listitem>
		<listitem><para><constant>#define SEC_ACE_FLAG_INHERIT_ONLY       	0x8</constant></para></listitem>
 	</itemizedlist>
  
	<para>At present flags can only be specified as decimal or 
	hexadecimal values.</para>
 
	<para>The mask is a value which expresses the access right 
	granted to the SID. It can be given as a decimal or hexadecimal value, 
	or by using one of the following text strings which map to the NT 
	file permissions of the same name. </para>

	<itemizedlist>
		<listitem><para><emphasis>R</emphasis> - Allow read access </para></listitem>
		<listitem><para><emphasis>W</emphasis> - Allow write access</para></listitem>
		<listitem><para><emphasis>X</emphasis> - Execute permission on the object</para></listitem>
		<listitem><para><emphasis>D</emphasis> - Delete the object</para></listitem>
		<listitem><para><emphasis>P</emphasis> - Change permissions</para></listitem>
		<listitem><para><emphasis>O</emphasis> - Take ownership</para></listitem>
	</itemizedlist>


	<para>The following combined permissions can be specified:</para>


	<itemizedlist>
		<listitem><para><emphasis>READ</emphasis> -  Equivalent to 'RX'
		permissions</para></listitem>
		<listitem><para><emphasis>CHANGE</emphasis> - Equivalent to 'RXWD' permissions
		</para></listitem>
		<listitem><para><emphasis>FULL</emphasis> - Equivalent to 'RWXDPO' 
		permissions</para></listitem>
	</itemizedlist>
	</refsect1>

<refsect1>
	<title>EXIT STATUS</title>

	<para>The <command>smbcacls</command> program sets the exit status 
	depending on the success or otherwise of the operations performed.  
	The exit status may be one of the following values. </para>

	<para>If the operation succeeded, smbcacls returns and exit 
	status of 0.  If <command>smbcacls</command> couldn't connect to the specified server, 
	or there was an error getting or setting the ACLs, an exit status 
	of 1 is returned.  If there was an error parsing any command line 
	arguments, an exit status of 2 is returned. </para>
</refsect1>

	<title>VERSION</title>

	were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
	by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar 
	to the way the Linux kernel is developed.</para>
	
	<para><command>smbcacls</command> was written by Andrew Tridgell 
	and Tim Potter.</para>
	
	<para>The conversion to DocBook for Samba 2.2 was done 
	by Gerald Carter. The conversion to DocBook XML 4.2 for Samba 3.0 was done
