The support team never returned any helpful advice. The technicians seemed not to understand any kind of mount other than for a very simple single-user case, which is unfortunate, because the device itself carries a variety of features targeted for a small-business deployment. As follows is a comment given by Synology support: Specific instructions for mounting or adjusting permissions on client devices is outside of our support scope, however for specific instructions how to mount an SMB share on your linux VM, you could check with the documentation for that particular OS, or there are various general instructions on the web how to mount a smb share in linux. No mention was made of using a forked Samba code base. It may be used, but the topic was not mentioned. The tone of the conversation was to imply that it is the customer's responsibility to discover how to use the protocols and services in an appropriate way for the particular deployment. As such, this channel is currently my last line of support on this matter. It might help at least if I would receive advice on the subject, putting aside the question of customization to the Samba code base. If it is possible to achieve the configuration using standard versions of Samba, then it is at least worth trying the same method with the Synology device.

Create the same users and groups on all machines, ensure that the users have the same password everywhere. Rowland
Hai, https://sourceforge.net/projects/dsgpl/files/Synology%20NAS%20GPL%20Source/25426branch/x64-source/ Search samba on that page and you see the samba source Synology uses.
