5 <para>Under DOS and Windows, if a user can write to a
6 file they can change the timestamp on it. Under POSIX semantics,
7 only the owner of the file or root may change the timestamp. By
8 default, Samba runs with POSIX semantics and refuses to change the
9 timestamp on a file if the user <command moreinfo="none">smbd</command> is acting
10 on behalf of is not the file owner. Setting this option to <constant>
11 yes</constant> allows DOS semantics and <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
12 <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> will change the file
13 timestamp as DOS requires.</para>
