 + 
 +A new window will pop up for changing the permissions of the new dataset. 
 + 
 +Leave the “Apply Owner (user):” tick box (1) at its default setting (with a tick). 
 + 
 +In the “Owner (user):” drop down selection box (2) select the new user you created a moment ago (in Fester’s case this was TestUser). 
 + 
 +Leave the “Apply Owner (group):” tick box (3) at its default setting (with a tick). 
 + 
 +In the “Owner (group):” drop down selection box (4) select the new group you created a moment ago (in Fester’s case this was TestGroup). 
 + 
 +Leave the “Apply Mode:” tick box (5) at its default setting (with a tick). 
 + 
 +If you have chosen “Windows” as the Permission Type then the “Mode:” tick boxes (6) will be greyed out so you can not alter them. FreeNAS will prevent you from making alterations here and is correct to do so. This is because if you did you could break the share. 
 + 
 +Set the “Permission Type:” radio button (7) to match the clients on your network (Fester has mostly Windows machines so I set this to **Windows**). 
 + 
 +Put a tick in the “Set permission recursively:” tick box (8). 
 + 
 +Now click the “Change” button (9). 
 + 
 +{{:fester:5ad5f0ce29f6b24d18ed2811328f89a7.png}} 
 + 
 +Now we need to create a CIFS share. On a network that utilises predominately Windows clients this is a good choice. 
 + 
 +Go to the “Sharing” page. 
 + 
 +{{:fester:3aaa0b6fe2d6bfde321c6c5a79c2d284.png}} 
 + 
 +Now click the “Windows (CIFS)” button (1) and then click the “Add Windows (CIFS) Share” button (2). 
 + 
 +{{:fester:9993271b972a8e10c4b9b70bef7a8ba5.png}} 
 + 
 +A new smaller window will pop up. 
 + 
 +In the “Path:” section click the “Browse” button. 
 + 
 +{{:fester:a7da52b7df403b489d0edcee0b222e55.png}} 
 + 
 +The window should now expand a little and allow you to navigate to the newly created dataset (1). 
 + 
 +When you have it selected click the “Close” button (2). 
 + 
 +{{:fester:b0f78f8076efa5d2a9970f4e0b4dd125.png}} 
 + 
 +The “Path:” text box (1) should now display the chosen dataset. 
 + 
 +Do not tick the “Use as home share:” tick box (2) at the moment. 
 + 
 +Give the share a name in the “Name:” text box (3). 
 + 
 +Put a tick in the “Apply Default Permissions:” tick box (4) if a tick is not present. 
 + 
 +Do not tick the “Allow Guest Access:” tick box (5). 
 + 
 +Now click the “OK” button (6). 
 + 
 +{{:fester:2d42d97391a0c05c9ee7586158d5421c.png}} 
 + 
 +If all goes well you will see the newly created CIFS share entry (1). 
 + 
 +You will now be asked if you wish to enable the CIFS share service. 
 + 
 +Click the “No” button (2). 
 + 
 +{{:fester:00642aaa11a2955b12aff69c4eecdc93.png}} 
 + 
 +Now go to the “Services” page. 
 + 
 +{{:fester:91f9c957b109e4f4bd41d2f8a69e1a6c.png}} 
 + 
 +Click on the little spanner next to the “CIFS” service (1). 
 + 
 +A new window will pop up. 
 + 
 +The NetBIOS name will already be present in the “NetBIOS Name:” text box (2). 
 + 
 +In the “Workgroup” text box (3) type in the name of the workgroup you want to use on the client machines (Fester used **T ESTWORKGROUP** because it is an experimental starter share). If you don’t know your Workgroup then skip to the relevant section on how to do this. 
 + 
 +Type in a good name for the CIFS share in the “Description:” text box (4). 
 + 
 +Do not alter the default values of the “DOS charset:”, the “Unix charset:” and the “Log level:” (5). 
 + 
 +Leave the “Use syslog only:” (6) at its default (no tick). 
 + 
 +Make sure the “Local Master:” tick box (7) is ticked. 
 + 
 +Leave “Domain logons:” (8) unticked. 
 + 
 +Leave “Time Server for Domain:” (9) ticked. 
 + 
 +Leave “Guest account:” (10) at **nobody**. 
 + 
 +{{:fester:2a2d2d7d286a4cacbab325269bd5dba1.png}} 
 + 
 +Do not put anything in the “File mask:” and “Directory mask:” text boxes (11) unless you really understand UNIX permissions (Fester can’t help you here). 
 + 
 +Do not tick the “Allow Empty Password:” tick box (12) as this weakens the security of the share. 
 + 
 +Leave the “Unix Extensions:” and “Zeroconf share discovery:” tick boxes (13) as they are. 
 + 
 +Untick the “Hostnames lookups:” tick box (14) otherwise you will keep getting a name mismatch error. 
 + 
 +Set the “Server maximum protocol:” (15) to SMB2. 
 + 
 +Leave the “Allow execute always:” tick box (16) in its default setting (with a tick). 
 + 
 +{{:fester:489723f6679124dfba84823be1ab326f.png}} 
 + 
 +Fester has no idea what the “Obey pam restrictions:” setting (17) actually does. I just leave it ticked, but I have no idea how it should be set. 
 + 
 +Don’t tick any of the IP address text boxes (18) in the “Bind IP Addresses:” section. 
 + 
 +The “Idmap Range Low:” and “Idmap Range High:” settings (19) Fester does not touch as I don’t know what they do. 
 + 
 +Now click on the “OK” button (20).
