This boolean parameter controls what
\fBsmbd\fR(8)does on receiving a protocol request of "open for delete" from a
Windows client\. If a Windows client doesn\'t have permissions to delete a file
then they expect this to be denied at open time\. POSIX systems normally only
detect restrictions on delete by actually attempting to delete the file or
directory\. As Windows clients can (and do) "back out" a delete request by
unsetting the "delete on close" bit Samba cannot delete the file immediately on
"open for delete" request as we cannot restore such a deleted file\. With this
parameter set to true (the default) then smbd checks the file system
permissions directly on "open for delete" and denies the request without
actually deleting the file if the file system permissions would seem to deny
it\. This is not perfect, as it\'s possible a user could have deleted a file
without Samba being able to check the permissions correctly, but it is close
enough to Windows semantics for mostly correct behaviour\. Samba will correctly
check POSIX ACL semantics in this case\.
.sp
-If this parameter is set to "false" Samba doesn\'t check permissions on "open
for delete" and allows the open\. If the user doesn\'t have permission to
delete the file this will only be discovered at close time, which is too late
for the Windows user tools to display an error message to the user\. The
symptom of this is files that appear to have been deleted "magically"

protocol option which should not need to be changed\. This parameter was
introduced in its final form in 3\.0\.21, an earlier version with slightly

The differentiating factor is that under normal circumstances, the NT/2000
client will attempt to open the network printer using MS\-RPC\. The problem is
that because the client considers the printer to be local, it will attempt to
issue the OpenPrinterEx() call requesting access rights associated with the
logged on user\. If the user possesses local administator rights but not root
privilege on the Samba host (often the case), the OpenPrinterEx() call will
fail\. The result is that the client will now display an "Access Denied; Unable

successfully be printed)\.

extension to the SMB/CIFS protocol negotiated as part of the UNIX extensions\.
SMB encryption uses the GSSAPI (SSPI on Windows) ability to encrypt and sign
every request/response in a SMB protocol stream\. When enabled it provides a
secure method of SMB/CIFS communication, similar to an ssh protected session,
but using SMB/CIFS authentication to negotiate encryption and signing keys\.

Linux CIFSFS and MacOS/X clients\. Windows clients do not support this feature\.
