+    <para>If this parameter is set, a Windows NT ACL that contains an unknown
+              SID (security descriptor, or representation of a user or group
+              id) as the owner or group owner of the file will be silently
+              mapped into the current UNIX uid or gid of the currently
+              connected user.</para>
+
+    <para>This is designed to allow Windows NT clients to copy files and
+              folders containing ACLs that were created locally on the client
+              machine and contain users local to that machine only (no domain
+              users) to be copied to a Samba server (usually with XCOPY /O)
+              and have the unknown userid and groupid of the file owner map to
+              the current connected user.  This can only be fixed correctly
+              when winbindd allows arbitrary mapping from any Windows NT SID
+              to a UNIX uid or gid.</para>
+
+    <para>Try using this parameter when XCOPY /O gives an ACCESS_DENIED
+    error.</para>
