So, Rowland [and anyone else following along] - lets see if we can forget about that shiny object.
Just forget I said FreeNAS. Poof! Gone!

Pretend I said I was using FreeBSD, with ZFS, and Samba 4.7.0.
And, apparently, creating directories for user profiles goes south in some cases. [It works sometimes too, but I can't determine why. I'm flipping lots of switches in an effort to make it work, so it may well be semi-self induced.]

But if I were that BSD guy - what things would I look at in the smb.conf that might have an impact on this situation?
How do I control the permissions new directories get from Samba?
I'd be glad for a "here's someone who faced exactly that, and here's how he fixed it." but I'd also be super happy with "Look at these 6 different smb.conf items - and here's how I might set them. You might look at this VFS module too."

TIA
