<font size="1" face="Arial">This config option is not tested and not supported as part of Spectrum<br>
Scale. Only SMB/Samba config parameters that are accessible through<br>
the GUI or mmsmb CLI are officially supported. If you have a usecase<br>
requiring support for additional Samba parameters, the proper way to<br>
request support is through a RFE.</font><br>
<font size="1" face="Arial"> </font><br>
<font size="1" face="Arial">That said, i do not see why the Samba behavior would change here from<br>
v4 to v5. If you want to debug this, i would suggest to recreate the<br>
problem with this parameter in place while capturing a SMB trace<br>
(mmprotocoltrace start smb). The SMB trace should then have sufficient<br>
information to determine why the owner of the file is not as expected.</font><br>
