docs-xml/smbdotconf: deprecated "profile acls"
This doesn't work anymore with modern clients, and there're better ways to support profiles on a share. Typically something like this seems to work: [winprofiles] comment = Users profiles New path = /data/winprofiles/ browseable = No read only = No csc policy = disable store dos attributes = yes vfs objects = acl_xattr With chmod 1777 on /data/winprofiles/ In order to work around some locking problems, see https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12833 It's also useful to something like this in the global section in order to detect disconnects reliable: socket options = TCP_KEEPCNT=5 TCP_KEEPIDLE=30 TCP_KEEPINTVL=1 Signed-off-by: Stefan Metzmacher <metze@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
