File Share Permissions

[Alex Hieronymi]

I agree; for now, its best to use samba3 for the file server, given the 
more advanced permissioning capabilities when compared to samba4.  Make 
sure you check the permissions in smb.conf for the share attributes, as 
well as the permissions on the filesystem itself.
