diet have been known for years, but it has mainly been studied in younger adults. Now results of a study published in the British Journal of Nutrition show that the Mediterranean diet is associated with longer life in older adults too.Components of the Mediterranean diet change a little from region to region, but overall, it's high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, fish, and plant-based fats and low in meats and dairy. Another feature that scientists think could be significant is that it also includes a moderate consumption of wine during meals.
Research in Italy Researchers from the Department of Epidemiology and Prevention of the Institute for Research, Hospitalization, and Health Care Neuromed in Molise, Italy, analyzed data from 5,000 participants in the Moli-sani Study, which is a study about environmental and genetic factors underlying cardiovascular disease, cancer, and degenerative pathology. They also analyzed data from other epidemiology studies in seven other countries.They found that people 65 years and older who adhered to a Mediterranean diet had a 25% reduction of all-cause mortality. They also found that people who followed the diet more strictly lived longer than people who didn't consistently follow it.The researchers say that the results of this study have important implications for public health and adds to the current knowledge about modifiable factors that can make people healthier.

Connecticut Restaurant Under Fire for 'Tuskegee Experiment' Cocktail
Christina Santi
According to Westfair Communications, 323 Main Street, a restaurant and bar in Westport, Connecticut had a cocktail named "The Tuskegee Experiment," on its menu. The inspiration for the drink came from the racially motivated medical experiment and has provoked a backlash from customers and residents.
The signature cocktail featured Malibu rum, Myers dark rum, fresh lime, pineapple juice, bits of pineapple and jalapeno, and a splash of Tabasco sauce. It was named after the research experiment, "The Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male," which took place in the 1930s at Tuskegee University, a historically Black college in Alabama. The 40-year medical study falsely used African-American me to observe what untreated syphilis did to the body. The men did not receive penicillin for the treatment of the disease and were under the assumption they were receiving free healthcare. Hundreds of them died, several of their wives contracted the STD and a number of their children were born with congenital syphilis, reports the CDC.
Considering the infamous history of the experiment it is unclear and also mortifying as to why an establishment would highlight a disturbing moment in History. The cocktail was removed after a restaurant-goer, Leah Bornstein, complained about the drink on Aug. 11.
Before the drink was removed, Bornstein's friend Eric Armour posted a photo of 323's cocktail menu and wrote, "Umm. This is ridiculously horrible." The image was shared nearly 3,000 times and has over 700 comments.
Despite the creative names of all the cocktails on the menu, Brenda Penn-Williams, Norwalk NAACP President, called out the restaurant for making the alcoholic beverage.
"The Norwalk NAACP condemns 323 Main Restaurant for naming a drink after 'The Tuskegee Experiment,' based on facts the Tuskegee syphilis experiment was an infamous, unethical and malicious clinical study conducted between 1932 thru 1972 by the U.S. Public Health Service which was mean and evil. To conduct such an experiment on rural, uneducated African-American men which was the leading cause of death is a travesty of injustice and a lack of human regard. It is a shame that 323 Main Restaurant continued with the same racist mindset in these times," Penn-Williams said in a statement.
According to the Stamford Advocate, the 323 Restaurant Bar apologized for the drink on its Facebook page. "We sincerely apologize for our insensitivity and the lack of forethought on our part. The name of the drink was clearly inappropriate, and we will seriously be considering the history and impact behind the names on future menus."

You say 'If it hasn't already been done at printing, each sheet is folded into signatures (usually made up of 16 pages).' Does this mean that each sheet is double page size? For example,if the finished page size is A5,does it mean that each sheet should be A4?
No, a double-sided A4 sheet would hold four A5 pages. My mathematical brain is fuzzy today but I calculate to get a signature of 16 A5 pages, you'd print both sides of an A2 sheet.

Advanced MS Windows users are frequently perplexed when file, directory, and share manipulation of resources shared via Samba do not behave in the manner they might expect. MS Windows network administrators are often confused regarding network access controls and how to provide users with the access they need while protecting resources from unauthorized access.
Many UNIX administrators are unfamiliar with the MS Windows environment and in particular have difficulty in visualizing what the MS Windows user wishes to achieve in attempts to set file and directory access permissions.
The problem lies in the differences in how file and directory permissions and controls work between the two environments. This difference is one that Samba cannot completely hide, even though it does try to bridge the chasm to a degree.
POSIX Access Control List technology has been available (along with extended attributes) for UNIX for many years, yet there is little evidence today of any significant use. This explains to some extent the slow adoption of ACLs into commercial Linux products. MS Windows administrators are astounded at this, given that ACLs were a foundational capability of the now decade-old MS Windows NT operating system.
The purpose of this chapter is to present each of the points of control that are possible with Samba-3 in the hope that this will help the network administrator to find the optimum method for delivering the best environment for MS Windows desktop users.
This is an opportune point to mention that Samba was created to provide a means of interoperability and interchange of data between differing operating environments. Samba has no intent to change UNIX/Linux into a platform like MS Windows. Instead the purpose was and is to provide a sufficient level of exchange of data between the two environments. What is available today extends well beyond early plans and expectations, yet the gap continues to shrink.
Samba honors and implements UNIX file system access controls. Users who access a Samba server will do so as a particular MS Windows user. This information is passed to the Samba server as part of the logon or connection setup process. Samba uses this user identity to validate whether or not the user should be given access to file system resources (files and directories). This chapter provides an overview for those to whom the UNIX permissions and controls are a little strange or unknown.
In configuring share settings and controls in the smb.conf file, the network administrator can exercise overrides to native file system permissions and behaviors. This can be handy and convenient to effect behavior that is more like what MS Windows NT users expect, but it is seldom the best way to achieve this. The basic options and techniques are described herein.
Just as it is possible in MS Windows NT to set ACLs on shares themselves, so it is possible to do in Samba. Few people make use of this facility, yet it remains one of the easiest ways to affect access controls (restrictions) and can often do so with minimum invasiveness compared with other methods.
The use of POSIX ACLs on UNIX/Linux is possible only if the underlying operating system supports them. If not, then this option will not be available to you. Current UNIX technology platforms have native support for POSIX ACLs. There are patches for the Linux kernel that also provide this support. Sadly, few Linux platforms ship today with native ACLs and extended attributes enabled. This chapter has pertinent information for users of platforms that support them.
Perhaps the most important recognition to be made is the simple fact that MS Windows NT4/200x/XP implement a totally divergent file system technology from what is provided in the UNIX operating system environment. First we consider what the most significant differences are, then we look at how Samba helps to bridge the differences.
Samba operates on top of the UNIX file system. This means it is subject to UNIX file system conventions and permissions. It also means that if the MS Windows networking environment requires file system behavior, that differs from UNIX file system behavior then somehow Samba is responsible for emulating that in a transparent and consistent manner.
It is good news that Samba does this to a large extent, and on top of that, provides a high degree of optional configuration to override the default behavior. We look at some of these overrides, but for the greater part we stay within the bounds of default behavior. Those wishing to explore the depths of control ability should review the smb.conf man page.
MS Windows NT4/200x/XP file names may be up to 254 characters long, and UNIX file names may be 1023 characters long. In MS Windows, file extensions indicate particular file types; in UNIX this is not so rigorously observed because all names are considered arbitrary.
What MS Windows calls a folder, UNIX calls a directory.
MS Windows file names are generally uppercase if made up of 8.3 (8-character file name and 3 character extension. File names that are longer than 8.3 are case preserving and case insensitive.
UNIX file and directory names are case sensitive and case preserving. Samba implements the MS Windows file name behavior, but it does so as a user application. The UNIX file system provides no mechanism to perform case-insensitive file name lookups. MS Windows does this by default. This means that Samba has to carry the processing overhead to provide features that are not native to the UNIX operating system environment.
So clearly, in an MS Windows file namespace these three files cannot co-exist, but in UNIX they can.
So what should Samba do if all three are present? That which is lexically first will be accessible to MS Windows users; the others are invisible and unaccessible any other solution would be suicidal. The Windows client will ask for a case-insensitive file lookup, and that is the reason for which Samba must offer a consistent selection in the event that the UNIX directory contains multiple files that would match a case insensitive file listing.
MS Windows and DOS use the backslash \ as a directory delimiter, and UNIX uses the forward-slash / as its directory delimiter. This is handled transparently by Samba.
MS Windows products support a notion of drive letters, like C:, to represent disk partitions. UNIX has no concept of separate identifiers for file partitions; each such file system is mounted to become part of the overall directory tree. The UNIX directory tree begins at / just as the root of a DOS drive is specified as C:\.
MS Windows generally never experiences file names that begin with a dot (.), while in UNIX these are commonly found in a user's home directory. Files that begin with a dot (.) are typically startup files for various UNIX applications, or they may be files that contain startup configuration data.
MS Windows make use of links and shortcuts that are actually special types of files that will redirect an attempt to execute the file to the real location of the file. UNIX knows of file and directory links, but they are entirely different from what MS Windows users are used to.
Symbolic links are files in UNIX that contain the actual location of the data (file or directory). An operation (like read or write) will operate directly on the file referenced. Symbolic links are also referred to as "soft links." A hard link is something that MS Windows is not familiar with. It allows one physical file to be known simultaneously by more than one file name.
There are many other subtle differences that may cause the MS Windows administrator some temporary discomfort in the process of becoming familiar with UNIX/Linux. These are best left for a text that is dedicated to the purpose of UNIX/Linux training and education.
There are three basic operations for managing directories: create, delete, rename. Managing Directories with UNIX and Windows compares the commands in Windows and UNIX that implement these operations.
The network administrator is strongly advised to read basic UNIX training manuals and reference materials regarding file and directory permissions maintenance. Much can be achieved with the basic UNIX permissions without having to resort to more complex facilities like POSIX ACLs or extended attributes (EAs).

The columns represent (from left to right) permissions, number of hard links to file, owner, group, size (bytes), access date, time of last modification, and file name.
An overview of the permissions field is shown in Overview of UNIX permissions field.
Figure�16.1.�Overview of UNIX permissions field.
^^^          everyone else cannot do anything with it.
Additional possibilities in the [type] field are c = character device, b = block device, p = pipe device, s = UNIX Domain Socket.
The letters rwxXst set permissions for the user, group, and others as read (r), write (w), execute (or access for directories) (x), execute only if the file is a directory or already has execute permission for some user (X), set user (SUID) or group ID (SGID) on execution (s), sticky (t).
When the sticky bit is set on a directory, files in that directory may be unlinked (deleted) or renamed only by root or their owner. Without the sticky bit, anyone able to write to the directory can delete or rename files. The sticky bit is commonly found on directories, such as /tmp, that are world-writable.
When the set user or group ID bit (s) is set on a directory, then all files created within it will be owned by the user and/or group whose `set user or group' bit is set. This can be helpful in setting up directories for which it is desired that all users who are in a group should be able to write to and read from a file, particularly when it is undesirable for that file to be exclusively owned by a user whose primary group is not the group that all such users belong to.
When a directory is set d-wx--x---, the owner can read and create (write) files in it, but because the (r) read flags are not set, files cannot be listed (seen) in the directory by anyone. The group can read files in the directory but cannot create new files. If files in the directory are set to be readable and writable for the group, then group members will be able to write to (or delete) them.
People have asked on the Samba mailing list how is it possible to protect files or directories from deletion by users. For example, Windows NT/2K/XP provides the capacity to set access controls on a directory into which people can write files but not delete them. It is possible to set an ACL on a Windows file that permits the file to be written to but not deleted. Such concepts are foreign to the UNIX operating system file space. Within the UNIX file system anyone who has the ability to create a file can write to it. Anyone who has write permission on the directory that contains a file and has write permission for it has the capability to delete it.
For the record, in the UNIX environment the ability to delete a file is controlled by the permissions on the directory that the file is in. In other words, a user can delete a file in a directory to which that user has write access, even if that user does not own the file.
Of necessity, Samba is subject to the file system semantics of the host operating system. Samba is therefore limited in the file system capabilities that can be made available through Windows ACLs, and therefore performs a "best fit" translation to POSIX ACLs. Some UNIX file systems do, however support, a feature known as extended attributes. Only the Windows concept of inheritance is implemented by Samba through the appropriate extended attribute.
A simple test can be done to check if the immutible flag is supported on files in the file system of the Samba host server.
Create a file called filename.
It will not be possible to delete the file if the immutible flag is correctly honored.
On operating systems and file system types that support the immutible bit, it is possible to create directories that cannot be deleted. Check the man page on your particular host system to determine whether or not immutable directories are writable. If they are not, then the entire directory and its contents will effectively be protected from writing (file creation also) and deletion.
The following parameters in the smb.conf file sections define a share control or affect access controls. Before using any of the following options, please refer to the man page for smb.conf.
User- and group-based controls can prove quite useful. In some situations it is distinctly desirable to force all file system operations as if a single user were doing so. The use of the force user and force group behavior will achieve this. In other situations it may be necessary to use a paranoia level of control to ensure that only particular authorized persons will be able to access a share or its contents. Here the use of the valid users or the invalid users parameter may be useful.
As always, it is highly advisable to use the easiest to maintain and the least ambiguous method for controlling access. Remember, when you leave the scene, someone else will need to provide assistance, and if he or she finds too great a mess or does not understand what you have done, there is risk of Samba being removed and an alternative solution being adopted.
User and Group Based Controls enumerates these controls.
List of users who will be granted administrative privileges on the share. They will do all file operations as the superuser (root). Users in this list will be able to do anything they like on the share, irrespective of file permissions.
Specifies a UNIX group name that will be assigned as the default primary group for all users connecting to this service.
Specifies a UNIX username that will be assigned as the default user for all users connecting to this service. This is useful for sharing files. Incorrect use can cause security problems.
If this parameter is set for a service, then no password is required to connect to the service. Privileges will be those of the guest account.
List of users that should not be allowed to login to this service.
Controls whether connections with usernames not in the user list will be allowed.
List of users that are given read-only access to a service. Users in this list will not be given write access, no matter what the read-only option is set to.
Refer to the smb.conf man page for more information; this is a complex and potentially misused parameter.
List of users that should be allowed to login to this service.
List of users that are given read-write access to a service.
Directory permission-based controls, if misused, can result in considerable difficulty in diagnosing the causes of misconfiguration. Use them sparingly and carefully. By gradually introducing each, one at a time, undesirable side effects may be detected. In the event of a problem, always comment all of them out and then gradually reintroduce them in a controlled way.
Refer to File and Directory Permission Based Controls for information regarding the parameters that may be used to set file and directory permission-based access controls.
Refer to the smb.conf man page.
The octal modes used when converting DOS modes to UNIX modes when creating UNIX directories. See also directory security mask.
Enabling this parameter allows a user who has write access to the file to modify the permissions on it.
This parameter specifies a set of UNIX-mode bit permissions that will always be set on a file created by Samba.
This parameter specifies a set of UNIX-mode bit permissions that will always be set on a directory created by Samba.
Controls UNIX permission bits modified when a Windows NT client is manipulating UNIX permissions on a directory.
Controls UNIX permission bits modified when a Windows NT client manipulates UNIX permissions.
Prevents clients from seeing the existence of files that cannot be read.
Prevents clients from seeing the existence of files that cannot be written to. Unwritable directories are shown as usual.
This parameter controls whether smbd will attempt to map UNIX permissions into Windows NT ACLs.
Controls UNIX permission bits modified when a Windows NT client is manipulating the UNIX permissions on a file.
The parameter documented in Other Controls are often used by administrators in ways that create inadvertent barriers to file access. Such are the consequences of not understanding the full implications of smb.conf file settings.
This means that all file name lookup will be done in a case-sensitive manner. Files will be created with the precise file name Samba received from the MS Windows client.
Client-side caching policy parallels MS Windows client-side file caching capabilities.
Allows specifying a comma-delimited list of directories that the server should always show as empty.
This option is mainly used as a compatibility option for Visual C++ when used against Samba shares.
DOS and Windows allow users to change file timestamps if they can write to the file. POSIX semantics prevent this. This option allows DOS and Windows behavior.
Oplocks are the way that SMB clients get permission from a server to locally cache file operations. If a server grants an oplock, the client is free to assume that it is the only one accessing the file, and it will aggressively cache file data.
Note: MS Windows Explorer allows override of files marked as hidden so they will still be visible.
If this parameter is yes, then users of a service may not create or modify files in the service's directory.
List of files and directories that are neither visible nor accessible.
This section deals with how to configure Samba per-share access control restrictions. By default, Samba sets no restrictions on the share itself. Restrictions on the share itself can be set on MS Windows NT4/200x/XP shares. This can be an effective way to limit who can connect to a share. In the absence of specific restrictions, the default setting is to allow the global user Everyone - Full Control (full control, change and read).
At this time Samba does not provide a tool for configuring access control settings on the share itself the only way to create those settings is to use either the NT4 Server Manager or the Windows 200x Microsoft Management Console (MMC) for Computer Management. There are currently no plans to provide this capability in the Samba command-line tool set.
Samba stores the per-share access control settings in a file called share_info.tdb. The location of this file on your system will depend on how Samba was compiled. The default location for Samba's tdb files is under /usr/local/samba/var. If the tdbdump utility has been compiled and installed on your system, then you can examine the contents of this file by executing tdbdump share_info.tdb in the directory containing the tdb files.
The best tool for share permissions management is platform-dependent. Choose the best tool for your environment.
The tool you need to manage share permissions on a Samba server from a Windows NT4 Workstation or Server is the NT Server Manager. Server Manager is shipped with Windows NT4 Server products but not with Windows NT4 Workstation. You can obtain the NT Server Manager for MS Windows NT4 Workstation from the Microsoft web site support section.
Launch the NT4 Server Manager and click on the Samba server you want to administer. From the menu select Computer, then click on Shared Directories.
Click on the share that you wish to manage and click the Properties tab, then click the Permissions tab. Now you can add or change access control settings as you wish.
On MS Windows NT4/200x/XP system, ACLs on the share itself are set using native tools, usually from File Manager. For example, in Windows 200x, right-click on the shared folder, then select Sharing, then click on Permissions. The default Windows NT4/200x permission allows "Everyone" full control on the share.
MS Windows 200x and later versions come with a tool called the Computer Management snap-in for the MMC. This tool is located by clicking on Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management.
After launching the MMC with the Computer Management snap-in, click the menu item Action and select Connect to another computer. If you are not logged onto a domain you will be prompted to enter a domain login user identifier and a password. This will authenticate you to the domain. If you are already logged in with administrative privilege, this step is not offered.
If the Samba server is not shown in the Select Computer box, type in the name of the target Samba server in the field Name:. Now click the on [+] next to System Tools, then on the [+] next to Shared Folders in the left panel.
In the right panel, double-click on the share on which you wish to set access control permissions. Then click the tab Share Permissions. It is now possible to add access control entities to the shared folder. Remember to set what type of access (full control, change, read) you wish to assign for each entry.
Windows NT clients can use their native security settings dialog box to view and modify the underlying UNIX permissions.
This ability is careful not to compromise the security of the UNIX host on which Samba is running and still obeys all the file permission rules that a Samba administrator can set.
Samba does not attempt to go beyond POSIX ACLs, so the various finer-grained access control options provided in Windows are actually ignored.
All access to UNIX/Linux system files via Samba is controlled by the operating system file access controls. When trying to figure out file access problems, it is vitally important to find the identity of the Windows user as it is presented by Samba at the point of file access. This can best be determined from the Samba log files.
From an NT4/2000/XP client, right-click on any file or directory in a Samba-mounted drive letter or UNC path. When the menu pops up, click on the Properties entry at the bottom of the menu. This brings up the file Properties dialog box. Click on the Security tab and you will see three buttons: Permissions, Auditing, and Ownership. The Auditing button will cause either an error message "A requested privilege is not held by the client" to appear if the user is not the NT administrator, or a dialog intended to allow an administrator to add auditing requirements to a file if the user is logged on as the NT administrator. This dialog is nonfunctional with a Samba share at this time, because the only useful button, the Add button, will not currently allow a list of users to be seen.
SERVER is the NetBIOS name of the Samba server, user is the username of the UNIX user who owns the file, and (Long name) is the descriptive string identifying the user (normally found in the GECOS field of the UNIX password database). Click on the Close button to remove this dialog.
If the parameter nt acl support is set to false, the file owner will be shown as the NT user Everyone.
The Take Ownership button will not allow you to change the ownership of this file to yourself (clicking it will display a dialog box complaining that the user as whom you are currently logged onto the NT client cannot be found). The reason for this is that changing the ownership of a file is a privileged operation in UNIX, available only to the root user. Because clicking on this button causes NT to attempt to change the ownership of a file to the current user logged into the NT client, this will not work with Samba at this time.
There is an NT chown command that will work with Samba and allow a user with administrator privilege connected to a Samba server as root to change the ownership of files on both a local NTFS file system or remote mounted NTFS or Samba drive. This is available as part of the Seclib NT security library written by Jeremy Allison of the Samba Team and is downloadable from the main Samba FTP site.
SERVER is the NetBIOS name of the Samba server, user is the username of the UNIX user who owns the file, and (Long name) is the descriptive string identifying the user (normally found in the GECOS field of the UNIX password database).
If the parameter nt acl support is set to false, the file owner will be shown as the NT user Everyone, and the permissions will be shown as NT Full Control.
The permissions field is displayed differently for files and directories. Both are discussed next.
The standard UNIX user/group/world triplet and the corresponding read, write, execute permissions triplets are mapped by Samba into a three-element NT ACL with the "r", "w", and "x" bits mapped into the corresponding NT permissions. The UNIX world permissions are mapped into the global NT group Everyone, followed by the list of permissions allowed for the UNIX world. The UNIX owner and group permissions are displayed as an NT user icon and an NT local group icon, respectively, followed by the list of permissions allowed for the UNIX user and group.
Because many UNIX permission sets do not map into common NT names such as read, change, or full control, usually the permissions will be prefixed by the words Special Access in the NT display list.
But what happens if the file has no permissions allowed for a particular UNIX user group or world component? In order to allow no permissions to be seen and modified, Samba then overloads the NT Take Ownership ACL attribute (which has no meaning in UNIX) and reports a component with no permissions as having the NT O bit set. This was chosen, of course, to make it look like a zero, meaning zero permissions. More details on the decision behind this action are given below.
Directories on an NT NTFS file system have two different sets of permissions. The first set is the ACL set on the directory itself, which is usually displayed in the first set of parentheses in the normal RW NT style. This first set of permissions is created by Samba in exactly the same way as normal file permissions are, described above, and is displayed in the same way.
The second set of directory permissions has no real meaning in the UNIX permissions world and represents the inherited permissions that any file created within this directory would inherit.
Samba synthesizes these inherited permissions for NT by returning as an NT ACL the UNIX permission mode that a new file created by Samba on this share would receive.
Modifying file and directory permissions is as simple as changing the displayed permissions in the dialog box and clicking on OK. However, there are limitations that a user needs to be aware of, and also interactions with the standard Samba permission masks and mapping of DOS attributes that also need to be taken into account.
If the parameter nt acl support is set to false, any attempt to set security permissions will fail with an "Access Denied" message.
The first thing to note is that the Add button will not return a list of users in Samba (it will give an error message saying "The remote procedure call failed and did not execute"). This means that you can only manipulate the current user/group/world permissions listed in the dialog box. This actually works quite well because these are the only permissions that UNIX actually has.
If a permission triplet (either user, group, or world) is removed from the list of permissions in the NT dialog box, then when the OK button is pressed, it will be applied as no permissions on the UNIX side. If you view the permissions again, the no permissions entry will appear as the NT O flag, as described above. This allows you to add permissions back to a file or directory once you have removed them from a triplet component.
Because UNIX supports only the "r", "w", and "x" bits of an NT ACL, if other NT security attributes such as Delete Access are selected, they will be ignored when applied on the Samba server.
When setting permissions on a directory, the second set of permissions (in the second set of parentheses) is by default applied to all files within that directory. If this is not what you want, you must uncheck the Replace permissions on existing files checkbox in the NT dialog before clicking on OK.
If you wish to remove all permissions from a user/group/world component, you may either highlight the component and click on the Remove button or set the component to only have the special Take Ownership permission (displayed as O) highlighted.
Samba maps some of the DOS attribute bits (such as "read-only") into the UNIX permissions of a file. This means there can be a conflict between the permission bits set via the security dialog and the permission bits set by the file attribute mapping.
If a file has no UNIX read access for the owner, it will show up as "read-only" in the standard file attributes tabbed dialog. Unfortunately, this dialog is the same one that contains the security information in another tab.
What this can mean is that if the owner changes the permissions to allow himself or herself read access using the security dialog, clicks on OK to get back to the standard attributes tab dialog, and clicks on OK on that dialog, then NT will set the file permissions back to read-only (as that is what the attributes still say in the dialog). This means that after setting permissions and clicking on OK to get back to the attributes dialog, you should always press Cancel rather than OK to ensure that your changes are not overridden.
Windows administrators are familiar with simple ACL controls, and they typically consider that UNIX user/group/other (ugo) permissions are inadequate and not sufficiently fine-grained.
Competing SMB implementations differ in how they handle Windows ACLs. Samba handles Windows ACLs from the perspective of UNIX file system administration and thus adopts the limitations of POSIX ACLs. Therefore, where POSIX ACLs lack a capability of the Windows NT/200X ACLs, the POSIX semantics and limitations are imposed on the Windows administrator.
POSIX ACLs present an interesting challenge to the UNIX administrator and therefore force a compromise to be applied to Windows ACLs administration. POSIX ACLs are not covered by an official standard; rather, the latest standard is a draft standard 1003.1e revision 17. This is the POSIX document on which the Samba implementation has been implemented.
UNIX vendors differ in the manner in which POSIX ACLs are implemented. There are a number of Linux file systems that support ACLs. Samba has to provide a way to make transparent all the differences between the various implementations of POSIX ACLs. The pressure for ACLs support in Samba has noticeably increased the pressure to standardize ACLs support in the UNIX world.
Samba has to deal with the complicated matter of handling the challenge of the Windows ACL that implements inheritance, a concept not anticipated by POSIX ACLs as implemented in UNIX file systems. Samba provides support for masks that permit normal ugo and ACLs functionality to be overrided. This further complicates the way in which Windows ACLs must be implemented.
Microsoft Windows NT4/200X ACLs must of necessity be mapped to POSIX ACLs. The mappings for file permissions are shown in How Windows File ACLs Map to UNIX POSIX File ACLs. The # character means this flag is set only when the Windows administrator sets the Full Control flag on the file.
As can be seen from the mapping table, there is no one-to-one mapping capability, and therefore Samba must make a logical mapping that will permit Windows to operate more-or-less the way that is intended by the administrator.
In general the mapping of UNIX POSIX user/group/other permissions will be mapped to Windows ACLs. This has precedence over the creation of POSIX ACLs. POSIX ACLs are necessary to establish access controls for users and groups other than the user and group that own the file or directory.
The UNIX administrator can set any directory permission from within the UNIX environment. The Windows administrator is more restricted in that it is not possible from within Windows Explorer to remove read permission for the file owner.
Interesting things happen in the mapping of UNIX POSIX directory permissions and UNIX POSIX ACLs to Windows ACEs (Access Control Entries, the discrete components of an ACL) are mapped to Windows directory ACLs.
Directory permissions function in much the same way as shown for file permissions, but there are some notable exceptions and a few peculiarities that the astute administrator will want to take into account in the setting up of directory permissions.
File, directory, and share access problems are common topics on the mailing list. The following are examples recently taken from the mailing list.
Go to the top of the directory that is shared.
The above will set the SGID bit on all directories. Read your UNIX/Linux man page on what that does. This ensures that all files and directories that are created in the directory tree will be owned by the current user and will be owned by the group that owns the directory in which it is created.
When you have a user in admin users, Samba will always do file operations for this user as root, even if force user has been set.
Answer: Word does the following when you modify/change a Word document: MS Word creates a new document with a temporary name. Word then closes the old document and deletes it, then renames the new document to the original document name. There is no mechanism by which Samba can in any way know that the new document really should be owned by the owners of the original file. Samba has no way of knowing that the file will be renamed by MS Word. As far as Samba is able to tell, the file that gets created is a new file, not one that the application (Word) is updating.
These two settings will ensure that all directories and files that get created in the share will be readable/writable by the owner and group set on the directory itself.

A Selena Scripted Series Is Coming To Netflix
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the streaming service is joining forces with the singer's family to tell her life story.
Netflix handed out a straight-to-series order for "Selena: The Series," which has been described as a coming of age story. At the moment neither a premiere date nor episode count has been determined, therefore at moment, it is unknown if the series will be an hour or half-hour.
Selena's sister, Suzette Quintanilla said in a statement, "Selena will always have a lasting place in music history and we feel a great responsibility to do justice to her memory. With this series, viewers will finally get the full history of Selena, our family, and the impact she has had on all of our lives. We are excited to partner with Campanario and Netflix to give fans a never-before-seen glimpse at our story and highlight why Selena will remain a legend for generations to come."
Selena released her debut album back in 1989 and went on to have a successful career in music, acting, and fashion. Unfortunately, she passed in 1995 at the age of 23.
Moisés Zamora will write the script for the series and executive produce along with Campanario Entertainment president Jaime Davila, Rico Martinez, Suzette Quintanilla, Selena's father Abraham Quintanilla Jr. and Simran A. Singh.

Religion & Mormon Studies
December 15 at 3:00 – 4:00 pm (Eastern)
The field of Mormon Studies has grown exponentially in recent years, resulting in an explosion of scholarship and the creation of endowed chairs at several universities. In this episode, three leading scholars will discuss the state of the field, considering such questions as: How has Mormon Studies changed our understanding of American religion? Where does the historiography of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints stand in relation to the study of other Mormonisms? Is the term "Mormon" here to stay? How does scholars' church affiliation (or lack thereof) affect their work? What are some major neglected areas in scholarship?
Matthew Bowman, Claremont Graduate University
Matthew Bowman was appointed the Howard W. Hunter Chair of Mormon Studies, with a joint appointment in history and religion in 2019. He is a specialist in American religious history, with particular interests in Mormonism, new religious movements, and the development of the concept of "religion" in the United States. He teaches courses on North American religions and Mormonism in the department of religion, and on the history of the United States in the department of history.

Preheat the oven to 220 C (200 C for a fan oven). In a bowl, rub the butter and flour together until fully combined. Stir in the sugar and salt. Then use a knife and mix the milk into the flour mix until it forms a sticky dough. Once it's all combined tip it onto a well floured surface and knead briefly until it's smooth.
Roll out until it is 2cm thick (no thinner) and cut out circles using a 4-5cm round fluted cutter. Push the cutter straight down and don't twist – this will ruin the shape of the scones. Place them all on a baking tray, slightly apart, and dust with flour. Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden on top.
Removed from the tray to cool slightly before serving with sliced strawberries and clotted cream. I think they're best served slightly warm!


"The burning of the jersey thing is getting ridiculous now!"
In the wake of Isaiah Thomas' trade to the Cleveland Cavaliers, some confused Boston Celtics fans shared video of themselves burning their #4 Celtics jerseys as a final goodbye to the 28-year old All-Star point guard. Mind you, this is the same guy that gave the team everything he had for two and a half seasons and played in a playoff game after the tragic death of his sister. Not to mention, HE WAS TRADED.
There are only a handful of these videos circulating right now but it has Isaiah's former teammates, as well as his current teammates, calling out these fools. In a series of tweets, LeBron condemned the burning of NBA players' uniforms in general, not just Isaiah's #4 Celtics jersey.
"The burning of the jersey thing is getting ridiculous now! The man was traded. What do u not understand? & played in a game after... sister tragic death. Gordon Hayward paid he's dues as well and decided to do what's best for him and his family. Put in the work, got better... Became an All-Star, etc!! If these guys weren't good, u guys would be the first to say "get them up out of here." Man beat it! When "we".... decide to do what best for us it's "cowardly" "traitor," etc but when it's on the other side it's "business" huh!?!? Ooh ok. Man do... what u feel is best for your profession, love, family, happiness and continue to #StriveForGreatness #Salute."
Obviously, LeBron has plenty of experience with fans burning his jersey - when he made "The Decision" in July of 2010, Cavs fans were burning his #23 jersey left and right after he left his home state to play for the Miami Heat. If I remember correctly, some Cavs fans were even going out of their way to buy LeBron's jersey just so they could torch it.
Celtics forward Jaylen Brown also called attention to the stupidity of these jersey burning videos, simply calling it "pathetic."
On the flip side, there are still fans out there that had a reasonable approach to the trade, including twitter user Tony Hartman who posted a video of a Kyrie Irving Cavs jersey with a "Thank You" note on top of it.
Check out LeBron's tweets about the jersey burnings below.

I have just had a chat to a friend about an unrelated health issue but it got me thinking about different things we try to deal with in life.
There is a very interesting episode on Australia's Insight show which can be viewed here and it talks to some individuals about their phobias.
I admit to having a number of fears and anxieties; some of which at times have had me almost frozen in fear and short of breath.
Some of the worst episodes i can remember occured during a school performance one of my children were a part of. It affected me so greatly that after dropping her off and racing back to my car i broke down in tears and started shaking almost uncontrolably, i was unable to drive for a good 10 minutes and it took me almost an hour to get home (should have been home in just over 5 minutes).
Another episode i had saw me unable to leave the house for over a week and unable to drive more than a few kilometres for close to a month. I had it in my mind that driving to visit a family member would result in something extremely bad happening to someone- i was unsure who, but i was convinced something was going to happen if i tried to go further than a few kms away.
I have also been nooked in for appointments and had to ring up and cancel less than an hour before i was due to show up.
I feel so inadequate when these things happen but it's just something that i try to deal with when they do happen. I try to not let myself get too upset or emotional, espacially over little things as i know they can easily escalate into much larger things such as a panic attack.
Unfortunately phobias seem to be treated as a joke by some people, we who have phobias can try to educate them on what can be done to and for us but unfortunately this isn't always possible as some people believe they know best and everyone else should be like they are.

Last night, I saw a powerful new movie called The Insider. It's about a man who risked everything to tell the truth because he knew it was the right thing to do.
If you want a refreshing lesson on why being true to our nature is important, please see this movie!
How often are you faced with the option of speaking your Truth or backing down and "being a nice person"? When you see this movie, you'll think twice about the next time that you're in a situation that requires you to do the right thing. Not the popular thing - not the easy way out, but having integrity within yourself and honoring this value.
Integrity can mean many things, but at its root, Integrity means the quality of being complete or unbroken - wholeness. The power of this movie is that the central character is forced to make a decision - a difficult decision that could break anyone, to sign a confidentiality agreement that states he will not divulge any information to anyone about his work at Brown & Williamson tobacco company. One of many companies that have been contributing to hundreds of thousands of people dying from lung cancer and related illness each year!
The main character, Wiegand is forced to struggle between telling the truth - a truth that could save thousands of lives, or remaining quiet. If he remains quiet, thousands WILL die. If he tells the truth, he risks being imprisoned for breaking the confidentiality agreement (which is enforceable by law), losing his severance package and benefits (the golden handcuff) and unexpectedly, his marriage.
In this apparent no-win scenario, he decides to honor his integrity and tell the truth - no matter what the consequences are. He sees that remaining quiet would not only break his own integrity, but add to the already long list of atrocities put on the American public by the tobacco industry.
What difference does this make to Me, Paul?
Many people go through their daily lives and are faced with honoring themselves or someone else that they think rules their lives. When given this choice, ask yourself "What's the right thing to do in this situation?" The thing that when you go to sleep at night you can say to yourself "I did the right thing".
"Learn to be free of the good opinion of others"
Let's take this lesson one step further... Learn to be free of the good opinion of your own ego.
Are you willing to listen to your Heart and intuition and be true to yourself, even when it hurts? Are you willing to do the unpopular thing especially when it's needed? Do you now work for a company that routinely rapes the land with pollution, or for a drug company that uses animals for testing and even worse uses humans as guinea pigs? Does this sound too opinionated? Only to those unwilling to really look at what is needed to honor our Earth, our children, ourselves.
Have you ever considered the consequences of your decisions? Do you purchase toxic products from companies like Monsanto (maker of Nutrasweet - a known toxic compound that slowly poisons the body - and they are now trying to "bioengineer" crops such as corn, soybeans, etc. that create dangerous side effects)? Do you smoke? Do you allow your children to watch violence on TV thinking "Oh, they'll get over it"?
Every seed we sow grows, so we need to be aware - fully conscious of what we are planting in our own minds and the minds of those who you influence.
What can I do today to have more integrity?
What am Here to do?
How can I best use my creative talents and speak my Truth?
How can I honor my intuition - my Heart and honor this sacred Earth I live on - to help protect it for my children?
As you go about your daily life, listen to your Heart, remember that integrity means the state of being complete, connected to your own self. What can you do as you are reading this, that will honor your own integrity?
and free up energy within me?"
