Command synopsis

smbcacls //server/share filename 
                  [options]

Options

-A acls

Adds one or more ACLs to the file or directory. Any ACLs already existing for the file or directory are unchanged.

-M acls

Modifies the mask of the ACLs specified. Refer to the following section, “Specifying ACLs,” for details.

-D acls

Deletes the specified ACLs.

-S acls

Sets the specified ACLs, deleting any ACLs previously set on the file or directory. The ACLs must contain at least a revision, type, owner, and group.

-U username

Sets the username used to connect to the specified service. The user is prompted for a password unless the argument is specified as username % password. (Specifying the password on the command line is a security risk.) If -U domain \\ username is specified, the specified domain or workgroup will be used in place of the one specified in the smb.conf file.

-C username

Changes the owner of the file or directory. This is a shortcut for -M OWNER:username. The username argument can be given as a username or a SID in the form S-1- N-N-D-D-D-R.

-G groupname

Changes the group of the file or directory. This is a shortcut for -M GROUP:groupname. The groupname argument can be given as a group name or a SID in the form S-1- N-N-D-D-D-R.

-n

Causes all ACL information to be displayed in numeric format rather than in readable strings.

-h

Prints a help message.
