Sharing With Windoze Systems

Services/CIFS SMB/Settings

     To share the volumes and datasets defined on the NAS4Free system with Windoze
     users, CIFS/SMB must be enabled.  Begin by checking the "Enable" box.
     Authentication: Anonymous
     Max Protocol: NT1
     NetBIOSname: (your system's name)
     Workgroup: WORKGROUP
     Description: (may want to add machine name to default description)
     Local Master Browser: No (you probably already have one on your network)
     Time server: No (same goes for this)
     Large read/write: checked
     Use sendfile: checked
     Null passwords: checked (if you so desire)
     Asynchronous I/O (AIO): checked
     Click "Save and Restart" to save the changes.
     Incidentally, here is a little note about setting the "Max Protocol" value.
     There is a bug in Samba (https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8726)
     having to do with the SMB2 protocol which causes random crashes when large
     files are transfered from/to NAS4Free using SMB/CIFS.  Until this bug is
     fixed and rolled into the NAS4Free build, it is probably a good idea to
     stick with "NT1" and not use "SMB2".  Admittedly, this will force CIFS/SMB
     to run slower (due to the chattiness of the original SMB protocol) but it
     will work.  After the bug is fixed, you should be able to turn SMB2 on and
     Samba will negotiate with its clients to use either SMB2 or NT1, depending
     on what they can hack.

Services/CIFS SMB/Shares

     Each volume or dataset that is to be shared must be configured by clicking
     the "Plus" button.
