SMB service
With this function you can enable/disable the SMB service.
These options could also be set to SMB service:
- hide special folders - this option hides special folders that are created by MAC OS/OSX systems. With this option enabled, users cannot see MAC OS/OSX system files via the SMB protocol. Please note: This also prevents users from creating files and folders with the same names (e.g., it will be impossible to create a file called "Network Trash Folder").
MAC OS/OSX system files:
- .DS_Store(:2eDS_Store),
- .AppleDouble,
- Temporary Items,
- Network Trash Folder,
- TheFindByContentFolder,
- TheVolumeSettingsFolder,
- .AppleDesktop,
- .AppleDB,
- Icon?,
- .VolumeIcon.icns(:2eVolumeIcon.icns),
- .FBCIndex(:2eFBCIndex),
- .FBCLockFolder(:2eFBCLockFolder),
- desktop.ini,
-
RECYCLER.
- unix extensions - this parameter controls whether Samba implements the CIFS UNIX extensions, as defined by HP. These extensions enable Samba to better serve UNIX CIFS clients by supporting features such as symbolic links, hard links, etc... These extensions require a similarly enabled client, and are of no current use to Windows clients
superusers - you can choose which user can be treated as a superuser. Superuser is a user who has permission to take ownership of folders and files which belong to other users. These rights can be useful when an administrator wants to change access rights (ACL) for folders or files created by other users. Superuser privileges allow the user to modify, remove, and add new files to shares. This includes all files and directories, even those of which the superuser does not have ownership.
