r--Special Access
When mapping to UNIX file permissions from Windows, you will not be able to add new Windows
ACL entries because only the owner, owning group and other ACL entries are supported by UNIX
permissions. UNIX ignores unrecognized entries. Conversely, you cannot delete any of the three
entries listed above as these entries are required by UNIX.
Pre-defined Windows Permissions
The Windows Explorer ACL interface allows you to choose predefined permissions like Change
and Full Control in addition to creating custom Special Access permissions.
Figure 3 Windows Explorer ACL Interface
If you use pre-defined Windows access types to set permissions on a Samba share, the permissions
that are displayed later will not match what you set in Windows.
For example, Full Control will become rwx on the Samba server, and when it is displayed on the
Windows client, it will show up as Special Access (RWX).
