	<para>This VFS module is part of the
	<citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
	<manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>

	<para>The <command>vfs_acl_xattr</command> VFS module stores
	NTFS Access Control Lists (ACLs) in Extended Attributes (EAs).
	This enables the full mapping of Windows ACLs on Samba
	servers.
	</para>

	<para>The ACLs are stored in the Extended Attribute
	<parameter>security.NTACL</parameter> of a file or directory.
	This Attribute is <emphasis>not</emphasis> listed by
	<command>getfattr -d <filename>filename</filename></command>.
	To show the current value, the name of the EA must be specified
	(e.g. <command>getfattr -n security.NTACL <filename>filename</filename>
	</command>).
	</para>

	<para>This module is stackable.</para>
