DESCRIPTION

cifs shares displays one or more shares, edits one or more shares, creates a share, deletes a share, or displays a total summary of the shares. Listing shares
To list the shares and their access control lists, use the command cifs shares followed by the name of the share to display. If the name contains the wildcard characters * or ? , then all the shares matching the specified name are displayed. To list all shares and their access control lists, use the command cifs shares with no arguments or cifs shares * toaster> cifs shares

Creating new shares
To create a new share, use the -add option: cifs shares -add sharename path
[ -f ]
[ -comment description ]
[ -maxusers userlimit ]
[ -forcegroup groupname ]
[ -nosymlink_strict_security ] [ -widelink ]
[ -umask mask ]
[ -dir_umask mask ]
[ -file_umask mask ]
[ -nobrowse ]
[ -novscan ]
[ -novscanread ]
[ -no_caching | -auto_document_caching -auto_program_caching ]
[ -accessbasedenum ] sharename name of the new share; clients use this name to access the share. The share name cannot exceed 256 characters. Note that the following 15 characters are invalid characters for a share name: " / \ [ ] : | < > + ; , ? * =
path
full path name of the directory on the filer that corresponds to the root of the new share.
-f
Suppress confirmation dialogs, if any. This option will be deprecated in future releases. A warning will be issued when share-names exceed 8 characters.
-comment description
description of the new share. CIFS clients see this description when browsing the filer's shares. If the description includes spaces, it must be enclosed in double quotatation marks. If you do not specify a description, the description is blank.
-maxusers userlimit
maximum number of simultaneous connections to the new share. userlimit must be a positive integer. If you do not specify a number, the filer does not impose a limit on the number of connections to the share.
-forcegroup groupname
name of the group to which files to be created in the share belong. The groupname is the name of a group in the UNIX group database.
-nosymlink_strict_security
allow clients to follow symbolic links to destinations on this filer but outside of the current share. Do not check that the client is authenticated to the symbolic link's destination.
-widelink
allow clients to follow absolute symbolic links outside of this share, subject to NT security. This feature requires an entry in the /etc/symlink.translations file and it requires that the client supports Microsoft's Distributed File System (Dfs).
-umask mask set
file mode creation mask for shares in qtrees with Unix or mixed security styles. The mask is an octal value which restricts the initial permissions setting of a newly created file or directory. This mask may be overridden by dir_umask or file_umask.
-dir_umask mask
set file mode creation mask for shares in qtrees with Unix or mixed security styles. The mask is an octal value which restricts the initial permissions setting of a newly created directory.
-file_umask mask
set file mode creation mask for shares in qtrees with Unix or mixed security styles. The mask is an octal value which restricts the initial permissions setting of a newly created file.
-nobrowse
disable enumeration of this share by browsing tools such as Server Manager or Active Directory Users and Computers.
-novscan
do not perform a virus scan when clients open files on this share.
-novscanread
do not perform a virus scan when clients open files on this share for read access.
-no_caching disallow
Windows clients from caching any files on this share.
-auto_document_caching
allow Windows clients to cache user documents on this share. The actual caching behavior depends upon the Windows client.
-auto_program_caching
allow Windows clients to cache programs on this share. The actual caching behavior depends upon the Windows client.
-accessbasedenum
enable the ability to hide the folders and files underneath this share when the user has no permissions to read them.
By default, machine accounts have access to a newly created share. Deleting existing shares
To delete a share, use the -delete option: 
  cifs shares -delete sharename
sharename is the name of the share to be deleted. A share cannot be deleted if it is in use unless the -f option is used, in which case all current opens of the share are immediately forced closed first. Changing the settings of existing shares
To change the settings of an existing share, use the -change option: cifs shares -change sharename
{ -comment description | -nocomment } { -maxusers userlimit | -nomaxusers } { -forcegroup groupname | -noforcegroup } { -nosymlink_strict_security | -symlink_strict_security }
{ -widelink | -nowidelink } { -umask mask | -noumask } { -dir_umask mask | -nodir_umask } { -file_umask mask | -nofile_umask } { -nobrowse | -browse }

{ -novscanread | -vscanread } { -no_caching | -manual_caching
-auto_document_caching
| -auto_program_caching } { -accessbasedenum | -noaccessbasedenum }
The settings of a share can be changed at any time, even if the share is in use. sharename , if fully specified, is the name of the existing share that is to be changed. If the name contains the wildcard characters * or ? , then all the shares matching the specified name are to be changed.

-noforcegroup
specifies that files to be created in the share do not belong to a particular UNIX group. That is, each file belongs to the same group as the owner of the file.
-nosymlink_strict_security
disables the symlink_strict_security setting. For more information about the symlink_strict_security setting, see the Creating new shares section, above.
-symlink_strict_security
enables the symlink_strict_security setting for this share.
-widelink

CIFS Home Directories
It is possible for some share settings to be applied to users' CIFS home directories. The share setting will apply to all user home directories. It is not possible to specify per user settings. Similarly, if the filer has multiple CIFS homedir paths, it is not possible to specify a setting that is per CIFS homedir path. To apply a share setting to all CIFS home directories use the share name cifs.homedir when entering a command. For example, to disable virus scanning for all CIFS access to home directories, a sysadmin would use the command: filer> cifs shares -change CIFS.HOMEDIR -novscan To display the settings on CIFS home directories use the command: filer> cifs shares CIFS.HOMEDIR The following share settings can be applied to CIFS home directories:
-widelink
-nowidelink
-symlink_strict_security
-nosymlink_strict_security
-browse
-nobrowse
-vscan
-novscan
-vscanread
-novscanread
-umask
-noumask
-dir_umask
-nodir_umask
-file_umask
-nofile_umask
-no_caching
-manual_caching
-auto_document_caching
-auto_program_caching
-accessbasedenum
-noaccessbasedenum
