Hello, second thread on this forum and Im off to reading the documentation once more...
I have a quick question regarding NFS shares and permissions.
There is currently 3 shares I want to configure but I am not sure how to do this the best way possible (reducing the security issues while maximizing usability and maintainability).
Each share is based on a separate dataset. Each dataset are configured with nobody:nogroup and are RWX for all user-group-others (in other words chmod 777 = wide open)
Share 1 will be used to share media files to my network. It needs to be R-O to everybody and every computers except the VM where my media applications are running (couchpotato, etc). I cannot export the share as R-O because no-one will be able to write to it including the VM where CPis running... I thought of creating a user such as "apache" in freenas and assigning read-write-execute to this share and for everybody else R-O but freenas is asking for a password when creating the user. Why?
To summarize, I have a hard time grasping the permissions concept in freenas... Do I need to use permissions on files-folders or do I need to use share exports permissions or a mixture of both???
Any insight is greatly appreciated!
