Chapter 6 Share and File Access Snap Server has implemented features to accommodate the disparate methods used by the SMB and NFS protocols for sharing data. At the share level, administrators can assign read-write or read-only share access to individual Windows (and local) users and groups. Administrators can also edit the NFS exports file to control how shares are exported to NFS client machines. The SMB and NFS protocols also part ways in their handling of file-level permissions. Administrators can choose to apply Windows or UNIX-style file-level permissions to entire volumes or to directories at the root of a volume (aka SnapTree directories). These security-based directory structures are referred to as SnapTrees. File and directories in a Windows SnapTree can have either a Windows or UNIX security personality, depending on the network protocol used to create the file or change permissions on it. Files in a UNIX Snap Tree always have the UNIX security personality and can only be set by NFS clients.
