STEP 5
Add a description or comment about the share in the
Comment
field. This
comment appears when you browse the NSS from My Network Places (as the
tooltip when you hover over the share, or if you select the
Details viewing
mode).
This field is optional.
STEP 6
Click the
Share Attributes
options to configure the share as public and if public,
read-only. (These settings are optional.)
•
Public
: Enable all users to access the share.
-
To make an NFS share world readable/writable, select this checkbox,
and verify that the Read-Only checkbox is also deselected.
-
To make an NFS share world readable, select this checkbox, and verify
that the Read-Only checkbox is selected.
•
Read-Only
: If the share is configured as a public share, allow the users
read-only access to the share. Users can access and view the share but
cannot write to the share. (For NFS shares, see to the information in the
Public
field.)
•
DFS Root:
Set the share to be a Microsoft DFS root. Note: The share must
be set as a DFS root when it is created. You cannot set it as a DFS root after
it is created or revert a DFS root share to be a regular share. When you set
this option, the
CIFS Default File Creation Attributes
and
Protocol
checkboxes are greyed out as they are not relevant. To add shared folder
links to the root. See
”Adding a DFS Shared Folder” on page 37
STEP 7
Set up the defaults for how file permissions are set when a file is created using
CIFS through these
CIFS File Creation Attributes
checkboxes:
•
Group Readable
: Members of the group assigned to the file have read
permission. The group is assigned during file creation. For files created
through NFS, the owner can manually set the group permissions when the
file is created and can edit them at a later time. For files created through
CIFS, the group is automatically assigned as the owner’s default group. This
group cannot be edited at a later time.
•
Group Writable
: Members of the group assigned to the file have write
permission. The group is assigned during file creation. For files created
through NFS, the owner can manually set the group permissions when the
file is created and can edit them at a later time. For files created through
CIFS, the group is automatically assigned as the owner’s default group. This
group cannot be edited at a later time.
