Hey guys, so I set up a password windows share using the guidelines here

It's the only thing that worked. Blindly doing it didn't work, and the wizards did not work at all.
And then I created an open share. For the open share, I used the same setup as above but left user as root and group as wheel. Set only allow guest access. I could open the share in windows but could not write to it. I changed the user to nobody and group to nogroup and that worked. I can write to the share. Is this the proper way to setup full permissions on an open share?
With Freenas I just assume that even though it is working and I get what I want, it doesn't mean its configured correctly.
I am getting closer to purchasing a real build and start using the system for real. Right now I am just using it on some leftover hardware. Considering this is all I am going to do for now, just provide a safe home for my important docs and share them across my network, is there anything else I should learn about?
Thanks again for everyone's help. I couldn't have done it without the support here.
