Parameter

Description

guestflags

A group of three flags indicating which protocols allow guest

 

access. The flags are written as a three-digit binary number with

 

the digits representing, from left to right, AFP, FTP, and SMB/CIFS.

 

1=guests allowed, 0=guests not allowed.

 

 

inheritflags

A group of two flags indicating whether new items in AFP or SMB/

 

CIFS share points inherit the ownership and access permissions of

 

the parent folder. The flags are written as a two-digit binary

 

number with the digits representing, from left to right, AFP and

 

SMB/CIFS. 1=inherit, 0=don’t inherit.

 

 

creationmask

The SMB/CIFS creation mask. Default=0644.

 

 

directorymask

The SMB/CIFS folder mask. Default=0755.

 

 

oplockflag

Specifies whether opportunistic locking is allowed for an SMB/CIFS

 

share point. 1=enable oplocks, 0=disable oplocks. For more

 

information about oplocks, see the file services administration

 

guide.

 

 

strictlockingflag

Specifies whether strict locking is used on an SMB/CIFS share point.

 

1=enable strict locking, 0=disable. For more information about

 

strict locking, see the file services administration guide.

 

 

To create a share point that uses AFP, FTP, and SMB/CIFS protocols:

Enter the following command, replacing 100GB with the name of the volume containing the share point and Archive with the actual share point name:

$ sharing -a /Volumes/100GB/Archive

To create a share point that appears differently for different users:

Enter the following command, replacing 100GB with the name of the volume containing the share point and Windows with the actual share point name so that it appears as WinDocs for server management purposes, and Documents for SMB/CIFS file service users:

$ sharing -a /Volumes/100GB/Windows\ Docs -n WinDocs -S Documents -s 001

-o 1

This share point is shared using only the SMB/CIFS protocol with oplocks enabled.

Modifying a Share Point

To change share point settings:

$ sharing -esharepointname [-ncustomname] [-Aafpname] [-Fftpname] [-S

smbname] [-sshareflags] [-gguestflags] [-iinheritflags]

[-ccreationmask] [-ddirectorymask] [-ooplockflag]

[-tstrictlockingflag]
