Unix and CIFS Shares on FreeNAS-9.2.1.8-RELEASE-x64 (e625626)

[ProjectMorris]

Hi All,

Just spent a couple of hours thinking I was going loopy.

Setting up my volumes and zfs data sets via the GUI and no matter how I set the permissions on the GUI Unix or Windows the data sets stayed as rwxrwxr-x.

So I tried I found they would only chmod if they were Unix ACL's .

Windows ACL'S won't chmod even with sudo. I think it's a different command setfcl or somthing which I'm not familiar with.

I seem to remember somewhere hearing that mixing Unix acl's and Windows CIFS shares doesn't make for a happy file system. So I'm loathe to commit to loading data till I'm happy it will not lose data.

Has anyone come across this?

In principle I want:

Users A, B, C

A: is an admin user and can see everything
B: is a standard User and can see his own home area and the group area but not A, or C's home area
C: Another standard User who can see own and group areas.

Done by CIFS share.

Many thanks

You configure permissions for windows acls by right-clicking the share in windows explorer and clicking 'properties' -> 'security' and editing the acls the way you would a windows server. Don't touch the CLI.

BTW the dataset should be owned by your admin user.
