i have created a 2 objects with master-detailed relation, but when i try to change the OWD settings for a child object its not letting me change,it always shows controlled by parent, since OWD settings cont be changed by child if its in M-D relation with std object. can any1 suggest me whats the solution for me to change the OWD settings for a child where both parent and child are custom objects linked by M-D relation.

Master Detail Relationship should be controlled by parent thats part of the benefits you receive from such relationship.. <br> Explain what you are trying to achieve record visibility ? create different layout and assigned them to relevant profiles. – sfdx bomb May 7 '15 at 18:28
As per docs : https://help.salesforce.com/HTViewHelpDoc?id=admin_sharing.htm&language=en_US
When a custom object is on the detail side of a master-detail relationship with a standard object, its organization-wide default is set to Controlled by Parent and it is not editable.
As you pointed out the above restriction is documented for a standard --> custom MD relationship, but not for a custom --> custom MD relation.
When you create a new master detail on a custom object, the system clearly prompts the user that the master controls the child's sharing settings.
The ownership and sharing of a detail record are determined by the master record.
So I feel you can never change the control a parent has on the child in a master detail relationship.
