Inherit Owner: if checked, ownership for new files and directories is inherited from parent directory rather than from the user.
Say I have a directory that is a CIFS called X that is own by root and there is a sub-directory that is also a CIFS called Y own by user Joe. If I check the box for Inherit owner for sub-directory Y, is sub-directory Y considered as the parent directory or is X considered the parent directory?
What I want to achieve is that any file or sub-directories created in Y is to be owned by Joe.
Note: There is no check boxes checked for X.
