[Samba] Sharing a directory owned by root

[Chris Stankevitz]

Hello,

Question: Is it possible for samba to share the "foo" directory to
guests read-only?

/mnt/vol0/public/foo root:wheel 555
/mnt/vol0/public/foo/bar1 guest:guest 777
/mnt/vol0/public/foo/bar2 guest:guest 777
/mnt/vol0/public/foo/bar3 guest:guest 777

Answer:

a) No, this is impossible because foo is owned by "root", yet you want
the share visible to "guest"

b) Yes, this is possible because foo has global read permission

c) [your answer here]

FYI in my application "foo" is actually a .zfs/snapshot and "bar" are
the individual snapshots.

Thank you,

Chris
