<listitem>
	<para>This controls whether the DOS archive attribute 
	should be mapped to the UNIX owner execute bit.  The DOS archive bit 
	is set when a file has been modified since its last backup.  One 
	motivation for this option it to keep Samba/your PC from making 
	any file it touches from becoming executable under UNIX.  This can 
	be quite annoying for shared source code, documents, etc...</para>

	<para>Note that this requires the <parameter moreinfo="none">create mask</parameter>
	parameter to be set such that owner execute bit is not masked out 
	(i.e. it must include 100). See the parameter <link linkend="CREATEMASK">
	<parameter moreinfo="none">create mask</parameter></link> for details.</para>

	<para>Default: <command moreinfo="none">map archive = yes</command></para>
