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.
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 ensure the
Read-Only
checkbox is deselected.
•
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.
7. Set up the defaults for how file permissions are set when a file is created using CIFS via the
following
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 via 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 via 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 via NFS, the owner can manually set the
group permissions when the file is created and can edit them at a later time. For files create
via CIFS, the group is automatically assigned as the owner’s default group. This group cannot
be edited at a later time.
•
World Readable:
All authenticated users can view the file.
•
World Writable:
All authenticated users have write permission to the file.
8. From the
Protocol
field, click the checkboxes to select the protocols that can be used to access
the share:
•
CIFS:
Enable CIFS access to the share.
•
NFS:
Enable NFS access to the share. (
Note:
To allow NFS access to the share, the NSS must
also be configured to allow NFS access.)
•
FTP:
Enable FTP access to the share. (
Note:
To allow FTP access to the share, the NSS must
also be configured to allow FTP access.)
9. To assign users access to the share, move the users into one of the following boxes. (The single
angled bracket "<" or ">" moves the selection in the direction of the bracket. The double angled
bracket "<<" or ">>" moves the entire list in the direction of the bracket.)
NOTE:
Setting individual user and group permissions on NFS shares only works when
joined to an NIS domain.
