Subject: [PATCH 2/3] s3:smbd: ease file server upgrades from 3.6 and earlier
 with "acl allow execute aways"

3.6 and earlier allowed open for execution when execute permissions are
not present on a file. This has been fixed in Samba 4.0.

This patch changes smbd to skip the execute bit from the ACL check
in the open code if "acl allow execute always = yes", hence
re-establishing the old behaviour in this case.

+    <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> when receiving a protocol request of "open for execution"
+    from a Windows client.
+    With Samba 3.6 and older, the execution right in the ACL was not checked, so a client
+    could execute a file even if it did not have execute rights on the file. In Samba 4.0,
+    this has been fixed, so that by default, i.e. when this parameter is set to "False",
+    open for execution is now denied when execution permissions are not present.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+    If this parameter is set to "True", Samba does not check execute permissions on
+    "open for execution, thus re-establishing the behaviour of Samba 3.6.
+    This can be useful to smoothen upgrades from older Samba versions to 4.0 and newer.
+    This setting is not not meant to be used as a permanent setting, but as a temporary relief:
+    It is recommended to fix the permissions in the ACLs and reset this parameter to the
+    default after a ceratain transition period.
