I struggled to find the right way to set the permissions on a set of SMB Shares for the past 2 days. When right clicking the folder and setting permissions, it was only setting the folder permissions and not the share permissions. I was setting the permissions based on AD groups and not users. The pro extension evalutation initially said 30 days and suddenly it showed expired after a few hours of the server being online. I had almost given up and was thinking of switching to FreeNAS when It clicked.
I remembered reading somewhere that Solaris simulates a windows 2003 server for SMB/CIFS. That combined with the constant reminder that the ACL system is similar to windows, I finally figured it out.
Microsoft Management Console to the rescue. Open a MMC with a shares management console. With that I could update both Share permissions as well as folder permissions.
This is probably not news to a lot of you folks, But I couldn't find a clear way to do this over several days of searching.
Here are the steps I followed to get my sharing working. Hope this helps others.
