    <para>This parameter controls what UNIX permission 
    bits can be modified when a Windows NT client is manipulating 
    the UNIX permission on a file using the native NT security dialog 
    box.</para>
		
    <para>This parameter is applied as a mask (OR'ed with) to the 
    changed permission bits, thus forcing any bits in this mask that 
    the user may have modified to be on. Essentially, one bits in this 
    mask may be treated as a set of bits that, when modifying security 
    on a file, the user has always set to be 'on'.</para>

    <para>If not set explicitly this parameter is set to 0,
    and allows a user to modify all the user/group/world permissions on a file,
    with no restrictions.</para>
		
    <para><emphasis>Note</emphasis> that users who can access 
    the Samba server through other means can easily bypass this restriction, 
    so it is primarily useful for standalone &quot;appliance&quot; systems.  
    Administrators of most normal systems will probably want to leave
    this set to 0000.</para>
