10.In the Umask field, enter the file creation mask, if any, you want to apply to this share. The umask defines the security policy for files and directories created in Share mode. It specifies the permission bits to turn off when a file is created.
The umask is defined in octal because octal numbers comprise three bits, which maps easily to the UNIX file permission representation. The umask is applied using standard UNIX rules, except for the DOS
The following table shows umask to permission examples, including the effect of the DOS

How to Configure Autohome Shares
About Autohome Shares
The SMB/CIFS autohome share feature eliminates the administrative task of defining and maintaining home directory shares for each Windows user accessing the system. The system creates autohome shares when a user logs on and removes them when the user logs off.
To configure the autohome feature, enable it and provide an autohome path. The autohome path is the base directory path for the directory shares. For example, if a user’s home directory is /vol1/home/sally, set the autohome path to /vol1/home. The temporary share is named sally. The user’s home directory name must be the same as the user’s logon name.
