Mapping Windows ACLs to POSIX (continued)
What is being created is a snapshot of ALLOW entries based on the current group memberships of the users at the time of set.
- If the group memberships change, this will no longer be a valid mapping.
The resulting ACL is converted to be 'well formed' (containing u/g/o entries) and the mask entry is set to 'rwx' as it has no meaning in the incoming ACL.
If the owner or owning group have changed, Samba performs a chown() call.
- Currently this only works for 'root' of course.
