It means that smbd can load a VFS plugin to deal with
different ACL models on a per share basis.  You still have
to convert the Windows security descriptor to a form
that means something to the underlying Unix file system.
but if you have a file systems that provides equivalent
(or even similar) semantics's as Windows NTFS, someone
can simply write the necessary VFS API calls and get
close.  All without having to touch core smbd code.
