Hi, this maybe a silly question, but i've just dived into freenas, so i'm wondering about the permissions and the different behaviour i'm seeing when comparing to a normal freebsd with samba4.

I have tried using UNIX permission on a share accessed by Windows PC's, and it acts wierd. Now i know, and have read some guides about leaving file permission up to windows, and control it from there. And that works for windows pc's.

But in another project i have tried a basic freebsd install with samba44. And there i have no issues with file/folder permissions, even though i dont set it explicitly to use windows ACL's. I use unix users & groups, -and add them to samba (smbpasswd). In the smb4.conf i control read and write access to the share (setting a read only = yes, and a write list = user).

Is this just a FreeNAS design choice? Cuz it doesn't seem like a samba4 limitation?

And what about jails and their access to a windows share in FreeNAS?
