NAME
     smbcacls - Set or get ACLs on an NT file or directory names

SYNOPSIS
     smbcacls {/server/share} {filename} [-D acls] [-M acls]
      [-a acls] [-S acls] [-C name] [-G name] [--numeric] [-t]
      [-U username] [-h] [-d]

DESCRIPTION
     This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.

     The smbcacls program manipulates NT Access Control Lists
     (ACLs) on SMB file shares.

OPTIONS
     The following options are available to the smbcacls program.
     The format of ACLs is described in the section ACL FORMAT

     -a acls
         Add the ACLs specified to the ACL list. Existing access
         control entries are unchanged.

     -M acls
         Modify the mask value (permissions) for the ACLs
         specified on the command line. An error will be printed
         for each ACL specified that was not already present in
         the ACL list

     -D acls
         Delete any ACLs specified on the command line. An error
         will be printed for each ACL specified that was not
         already present in the ACL list.

     -S acls
         This command sets the ACLs on the file with only the
         ones specified on the command line. All other ACLs are
         erased. Note that the ACL specified must contain at
         least a revision, type, owner and group for the call to
         succeed.

     -U username
         Specifies a username used to connect to the specified
         service. The username may be of the form "username" in
         which case the user is prompted to enter in a password
         and the workgroup specified in the smb.conf(4) file is
         used, or "username%password" or
         "DOMAIN\username%password" and the password and
         workgroup names are used as provided.

     -C name
         The owner of a file or directory can be changed to the
         name given using the -C option. The name can be a sid in

         the form S-1-x-y-z or a name resolved against the server
         specified in the first argument.

         This command is a shortcut for -M OWNER:name.

     -G name
         The group owner of a file or directory can be changed to
         the name given using the -G option. The name can be a
         sid in the form S-1-x-y-z or a name resolved against the
         server specified n the first argument.

         This command is a shortcut for -M GROUP:name.

     --numeric
         This option displays all ACL information in numeric
         format. The default is to convert SIDs to names and ACE
         types and masks to a readable string format.

     -t
         Don't actually do anything, only validate the
         correctness of the arguments.

     -h--help
         Print a summary of command line options.

     -d--debuglevel=level
         level is an integer from 0 to 10. The default value if
         this parameter is not specified is 0.

         The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to
         the log files about the activities of the server. At
         level 0, only critical errors and serious warnings will
         be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable level for day-to-day
         running - it generates a small amount of information
         about operations carried out.

         Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log
         data, and should only be used when investigating a
         problem. Levels above 3 are designed for use only by
         developers and generate HUGE amounts of log data, most
         of which is extremely cryptic.

         Note that specifying this parameter here will override
         the log level parameter in the smb.conf file.

     -V
         Prints the program version number.

     -s 
         The file specified contains the configuration details
         required by the server. The information in this file
         includes server-specific information such as what

         printcap file to use, as well as descriptions of all the
         services that the server is to provide. See smb.conf for
         more information. The default configuration file name is
         determined at compile time.

     -l--log-basename=logdirectory
         Base directory name for log/debug files. The extension
         ".progname" will be appended (e.g. log.smbclient,
         log.smbd, etc...). The log file is never removed by the
         client.

ACL FORMAT
     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:


         REVISION:
         OWNER:
         GROUP:
         ACL:://

     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.

     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.

     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.

     The type can be either 0 or 1 corresponding to ALOWED 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:

     ]o   #define SECACEFLAGOBJECTINHERIT 0x1

     ]o   #define SECACEFLAGCONTAINERINHERIT 0x2

     ]o   #define SECACEFLAGNOPROPAGATEINHERIT 0x4

     ]o   #define SECACEFLAGINHERITONLY 0x8

User Commands                                         SMBCACLS(1)



     At present flags can only be specified as decimal or
     hexadecimal values.

     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.

     ]o   R - Allow read access

     ]o   W - Allow write access

     ]o   X - Execute permission on the object

     ]o   D - Delete the object

     ]o   P - Change permissions

     ]o   O - Take ownership


     The following combined permissions can be specified:

     ]o   READ - Equivalent to 'RX' permissions

     ]o   CHANGE - Equivalent to 'RXWD' permissions

     ]o   FUL - Equivalent to 'RWXDPO' permissions

EXIT STATUS
     The smbcacls 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.

     If the operation succeeded, smbcacls returns and exit status
     of 0. If smbcacls 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.

VERSION
     This man page is correct for version 3.0 of the Samba suite.

AUTHOR
     The original Samba software and related utilities 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.

     smbcacls was written by Andrew Tridgell and Tim Potter.

     Carter. The conversion to DocBook XML 4.2 for Samba 3.0 was

NOTES
     Source for Samba is available on http:/opensolaris.org.

     Samba(7) delivers the set of four SMF(5) services as can be
     seen from the following example:

          $ svcs samba wins winbind swat
         STATE          STIME    FMRI
         disabled       Apr21   svc:/network/samba:default
         disabled       Apr21   svc:/network/winbind:default
         disabled       Apr21   svc:/network/wins:default
         disabled       Apr21   svc:/network/swat:default

     where the services are:

      "samba"
         runs the smbd daemon managing the CIFS sessions

      "wins"
         runs the nmbd daemon enabling the browsing (WINS)

      "winbind"
         runs the winbindd daemon making the domain idmap

      "swat"
         Samba Web Administration Tool is a service providing
         access to browser-based Samba administration interface
         and on-line documentation.  The service runs on software
         loopback network interface on port 901/tcp, i.e. opening
         "http:/localhost:901/" in browser will access the SWAT
         service on local machine.

     Please note: SWAT uses HTP Basic Authentication scheme
     where user name and passwords are sent over the network in
     clear text. In the SWAT case the user name is root.
     Transferring such sensitive data is advisable only on the
