	either commas or newlines.  An ACL entry is one of the following: </p><pre class="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;
</pre><p>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. </p><p>The owner and group specify the owner and group sids for the 
	object.  If a SID in the format CWS-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. </p><p>ACLs specify permissions granted to the SID.  This SID again 
	can be specified in CWS-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. </p><p>The type can be either 0 or 1 corresponding to ALLOWED or 
	DENIED 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: </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><tt class="constant">#define SEC_ACE_FLAG_OBJECT_INHERIT     	0x1</tt></p></li><li><p><tt class="constant">#define SEC_ACE_FLAG_CONTAINER_INHERIT  	0x2</tt></p></li><li><p><tt class="constant">#define SEC_ACE_FLAG_NO_PROPAGATE_INHERIT     0x4</tt></p></li><li><p><tt class="constant">#define SEC_ACE_FLAG_INHERIT_ONLY       	0x8</tt></p></li></ul></div><p>At present flags can only be specified as decimal or 
	hexadecimal values.</p><p>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. </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>R</em></span> - Allow read access </p></li><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>W</em></span> - Allow write access</p></li><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>X</em></span> - Execute permission on the object</p></li><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>D</em></span> - Delete the object</p></li><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>P</em></span> - Change permissions</p></li><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>O</em></span> - Take ownership</p></li></ul></div><p>The following combined permissions can be specified:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>READ</em></span> -  Equivalent to 'RX'
		permissions</p></li><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>CHANGE</em></span> - Equivalent to 'RXWD' permissions
		</p></li><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>FULL</em></span> - Equivalent to 'RWXDPO' 
		permissions</p></li></ul></div></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>EXIT STATUS</h2><p>The <b class="command">smbcacls</b> 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. </p><p>If the operation succeeded, smbcacls returns and exit 
	status of 0.  If <b class="command">smbcacls</b> 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. </p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>VERSION</h2><p>This man page is correct for version 3.0 of the Samba suite.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>AUTHOR</h2><p>The original Samba software and related utilities
