[Samba] Permissions required for Snapshots/Previous Versions
Hello, everyone, I've run into another challenge with Samba rights/permissions. The community responded so quickly to my last question that I'm hoping this one is as simple :-). I'm using ZFS with Samba, and have enabled the ZFS snapshot integration using the shadow2 VFS module. I have automatic snapshots set up for ZFS, and I'm able to see the "Previous Versions" tab in Windows and access the snapshots. This works great with one exception - the only users that can see them are users listed in the "admin users" section for the share or users mapped to the local Administrators group. My question is, is there any other way to make this Previous Versions functionality available to either other groups of users or, potentially, all users, without adding them to "admin users" or mapping them ot local Administrators? Thanks! -Nick

How are you running Samba ? Please post your smb.conf When you say 'ZFS', do you mean ZFS on something like Freebsd or openZFS on Linux ? Rowland
