Ok so not sure if this is even possible.
I have a main dataset with two datasets within that, Files and Jails.
I have created a cifs share and pointed it to files and then tried to access it via windows.
Frist oddity, clicking the freenas box in network prompts me for credentials, I would have expected it to show me the shares then ask for credentials?
Anyhow I put in the credentials for the user I assigned as owner of the files dataset.
All good I can access the files.
Within the files dataset I have a few folders with data in that I want to share out to people on the LAN without them needing credentials.
So I created another share, pointed it to the folder within files I want to share and ticked guest access when creating the share.
When I reboot and try to access freenas on the lan now it still asks me for credentials.
How I imagine it should work is that I should click the freenas box, then see two shares, one for files and one for the new folder I shared, I should then be able to access the new folder fine with no credentials and files with the credentials of the account that owns it?
Am I making sense? does this sound right? where am I going wrong?
Thanks in advance.
