A user reports they cannot write to a Samba share, but they can read files. The share is configured with `writable = yes`. What is the first thing to check?

The Samba server's network configuration.

The Windows client's firewall settings.

The Samba log file for authentication errors.

The Linux file permissions on the shared directory and files.

A Samba share is configured with 'nt acl support = yes' and the underlying filesystem supports POSIX ACLs. A Windows user modifies the ACL on a file to grant another user read access. The Linux user reports that the change does not take effect. What is the most likely cause?

The 'force user' parameter is overriding the ACL changes.

The 'inherit acls' parameter is not set on the share.

The Windows user does not have permission to change ACLs on the file.

The 'map acl inherit' parameter is set to 'no'.

How does Samba map Windows ACLs to Linux file permissions by default?

It converts Windows ACLs to Samba share parameters.

It translates Windows ACLs into POSIX ACLs and standard Linux permissions.

It stores Windows ACLs in a separate database and does not affect Linux permissions.

It ignores Windows ACLs and only uses Linux permissions.

What is the purpose of the `force user` parameter in a Samba share?

It forces the share to be accessible only to the specified user.

It forces the share to be read-only for all users.

It forces all connections to the share to use a specific Linux user account.

It forces the share to use Windows ACLs instead of Linux permissions.
