nfs4:mode = [ simple | special ]
Controls substitution of special IDs (OWNER@ and GROUP@) on NFS4 ACLs. The use of mode simple is
recommended. In this mode only non inheriting ACL entries for the file owner and group are mapped to
special IDs.
The following MODEs are understood by the module:
• simple(default) - use OWNER@ and GROUP@ special IDs for non inheriting ACEs only.
• special(deprecated) - use OWNER@ and GROUP@ special IDs in ACEs for all file owner and
group ACEs.
nfs4:acedup = [dontcare|reject|ignore|merge]
This parameter configures how Samba handles duplicate ACEs encountered in NFS4 ACLs. They allow
creating duplicate ACEs with different bits for same ID, which may confuse the Windows clients.
Following is the behaviour of Samba for different values :
• dontcare - copy the ACEs as they come
• reject (deprecated) - stop operation and exit with error on ACL set op
• ignore (deprecated) - don't include the second matching ACE
• merge (default) - bitwise OR the 2 ace.flag fields and 2 ace.mask fields of the 2
duplicate ACEs into 1 ACE
nfs4:chown = [yes|no]
This parameter allows enabling or disabling the chown supported by the underlying filesystem. This
parameter should be enabled with care as it might leave your system insecure.
Some filesystems allow chown as a) giving b) stealing. It is the latter that is considered a risk.
Following is the behaviour of Samba for different values :
• yes - Enable chown if as supported by the under filesystem
• no (default) - Disable chown
nfs4acl_xattr:encoding = [nfs|ndr|xdr]
This parameter configures the marshaling format used in the ACL blob and the default extended
attribute name used to store the blob.
When set to nfs - fetch and store the NT ACL in NFS 4.0 or 4.1 compatible XDR encoding. By default
this uses the extended attribute "system.nfs4_acl". This setting also disables validate_mode.
When set to ndr(default) - store the NT ACL with POSIX draft NFSv4 compatible NDR encoding. By
default this uses the extended attribute "security.nfs4acl_ndr".
When set to xdr - store the NT ACL in a format similar to NFS 4.1 RFC 5661 in XDR encoding. The main
differences to RFC 5661 are the use of ids instead of strings as users and group identifiers and an
additional attribute per nfsace4. By default this encoding stores the blob in the extended attribute
"security.nfs4acl_xdr".
nfs4acl_xattr:version = [40|41]
This parameter configures the NFS4 ACL level. Only 41 fully supports mapping NT ACLs and should be
used. The default is 41.
nfs4acl_xattr:default acl style = [posix|windows|everyone]
This parameter determines the type of ACL that is synthesized in case a file or directory lacks an
ACL extended attribute.
When set to posix, an ACL will be synthesized based on the POSIX mode permissions for user, group and
others, with an additional ACE for NTAuthority\SYSTEM will full rights.
When set to windows, an ACL is synthesized the same way Windows does it, only including permissions
for the owner and NTAuthority\SYSTEM.
When set to everyone, an ACL is synthesized giving full permissions to everyone (S-1-1-0).
The default for this option is everyone.
nfs4acl_xattr:xattr_name = STRING
This parameter configures the extended attribute name used to store the marshaled ACL.
The default depends on the setting for nfs4acl_xattr:encoding.
nfs4acl_xattr:nfs4_id_numeric = yes|no (default: no)
This parameter tells the module how the NFS4 server encodes user and group identifiers on the
network. With the default setting the module expects identifiers encoded as per the NFS4 RFC as
user@domain.
When set to yes, the module expects the identifiers as numeric string.
The default for this optionsno.
nfs4acl_xattr:validate_mode = yes|no
This parameter configures whether the module enforces the POSIX mode is set to 0777 for directories
and 0666 for files. If this constrained is not met, the xattr with the ACL blob is discarded.
The default depends on the setting for nfs4acl_xattr:encoding: when set to nfs this setting is
disabled by default, otherwise it is enabled.
