I want to setup a samba share for my family. To keep things reasonably clean, I’d like one account for each person rather than a shared account or a password less sharing, but I cannot wrap my mind around the issue I am seeing.
I have setup two accounts, both are part of the family group. In the smb dataset I have root as user owner, family as group owner, both with full access granted.
I can connect to the share with both accounts, but as soon as I create any file, a new dataset is created inside the main one, owned by the account that created the file, therefore file sharing is not possible.
I chose samba as I will have a mix of client os, Linux - Mac/i/iPad OS - Windows.
Up to now I tested this out with Apple devices only, so I am not sure if this is related to how Apple manages samba shares, or it is something I should fix on truenas side.
I am sure I am missing some details, I will gladly add those as requested.
Thanks for all the help!
Cheers,
