	user or group.</para>

	<title>ACL FORMAT</title>

	<para>The format of an ACL is one or more entries separated by
	either commas or newlines.  An ACL entry is one of the following: </para>

<para><programlisting> 
REVISION:&lt;revision number&gt;
OWNER:&lt;sid or name&gt;

	</itemizedlist>

	<para>The revision of the ACL specifies the internal Windows 
	NT ACL revision for the security descriptor.  
	If not specified it defaults to 1.  Using values other than 1 may 
	cause strange behaviour. </para>

	<para>The owner and group specify the owner and group sids for the 
	object.  If a SID in the format S-1-x-y-z is specified this is used, 
	otherwise the name specified is resolved using the server on which 
	the file or directory resides. </para>

	<para>ACEs are specified with an "ACL:" prefix, and define permissions
	granted to an SID.  The SID again can be specified in S-1-x-y-z format
	or as a name in which case it is resolved against the server on which
	the file or directory resides.  The type, flags and mask values
	determine the type of access granted to the SID. </para>

	<para>The type can be either ALLOWED or	DENIED to allow/deny access 
	to the SID.</para>

	<para>The flags field defines how the ACE should be considered when
	performing inheritance. <command>smbcacls</command> uses these flags
	when run with <parameter>--propagate-inheritance</parameter>.</para>

	<para>Flags can be specified as decimal or hexadecimal values, or with
	the respective (XX) aliases, separated by a vertical bar "|".</para>

 	</itemizedlist>
  
 
	<para>The mask is a value which expresses the access right 
	granted to the SID. It can be given as a decimal or hexadecimal value, 
	or by using one of the following text strings which map to the NT 
	file permissions of the same name. </para>

	<title>INHERITANCE</title>

	<para>Per-ACE inheritance flags can be set in the ACE flags field. By
	default, inheritable ACEs e.g. those marked for object inheritance (OI)
	or container inheritance (CI), are not propagated to sub-files or
	folders. However, with the
	<parameter>--propagate-inheritance</parameter> argument specified, such
	ACEs are automatically propagated according to some inheritance
	rules.
	<itemizedlist>
		<listitem><para>Inheritable (OI)(OI) ACE flags can only be
		applied to folders. </para></listitem>
		<listitem><para>Any inheritable ACEs applied to sub-files or
		folders are marked with the inherited (I) flag. Inheritable
		ACE(s) are applied to folders unless the no propagation (NP)
		flag is set. </para>
		</listitem>
		<listitem><para>When an ACE with the (OI) flag alone set is
		propagated to a child folder the inheritance only flag (IO) is
		also applied. This indicates the permissions associated with
		the ACE don't apply to the folder itself (only to it's
		child files). When applying the ACE to a child file the ACE is
		inherited as normal.</para></listitem>
		<listitem><para>When an ace with the (CI) flag alone set is
		propagated to a child file there is no effect, when propagated
		to a child folder it is inherited as normal.
		</para></listitem>
		<listitem><para>When an ACE that has both (OI) &amp; (CI) flags
		set the ACE is inherited as normal by both folders and
		files.</para></listitem>

	<para>If the operation succeeded, smbcacls returns and exit 
	status of 0.  If <command>smbcacls</command> couldn't connect to the specified server,
