Hello, to everyone 
. I need your suggestions please. I am relativily new to FreeBSD. This is the case. I have a new machine that will act as server for my enterprise. The service I want to have is samba for sharing a folder to my windows users network.
I created a partition or slice that contains the folder I want to share and is mounted on "/mySisEnt".
I want that only registered users can access to the shared folder "/mySisEnt", registered users must have full permissions to read, write and execute betweeen them i.e. if user "phillip" creates or is reading the file "Z06", then user "charles" could read, write the same file too.
Then I'll show what I am doing, please correct to me if I am doing something wrong.
1.- Create a group named "entgroup" and 3 users for that group:
2.- Set permissions for folder "/mySisEnt".
I am not sure if to set gid bit, could anyone explain in which cases is better use it? Has any relation with "create mask = 0644" or "directory mask = 755" on the smb.conf file below??
3.- Set default group "entgroup" for "/mySisEnt" folder:
Is really necessary this command? Or Samba will let this with the line " force group = entgroup" ?
4. Edit and type next for smb.conf:
I don't understand very well about "create mask" and "directory mask".
And What is the difference between "force user" and "admin users" in my smb.conf file? Could explain me better please too? In my little experience I suppose type "force user" will enable to phillip, charles and alex to write and read that directory. But "admin users" which function has?
5.- Enable Samba and add users to samba:
Points 2,3,4 I need to be sure are fine. Please, I need your suggestions, comments, thank you very much!
P.D. I am not native English speaker/writer, I hope you understand.

1.- Create a group named "entgroup" and 3 users for that group:
Code:
pw groupadd entgroup
pw useradd phillip -s /usr/sbin/nologin -g entgroup
pw useradd charles -s /usr/sbin/nologin -g entgroup
pw useradd alex -s /usr/sbin/nologin -g entgroup
passwd phillip
passwd charles
passwd alex2.- Set permissions for folder "/mySisEnt".
Code:
chmod -R 770 /mySisEnt3.- Set default group "entgroup" for "/mySisEnt" folder:
Code:
chown -R :entgroup /mySisEnt4. Edit and type next for smb.conf:
Code:
[global]
workgroup = entgroup
server string = Samba Server
security = user
create mask = 0644
directory mask = 755
[mySisEnt]
comment = Sys Enterprise
path = /mySisEnt
public = yes
read only = no
force user = phillip
force user = charles
force user = alex
force group = entgroup
guest ok = no
admin users = phillip, charles, alex
hide dot files = yesAnd What is the difference between "force user" and "admin users" in my smb.conf file? Could explain me better please too? In my little experience I suppose type "force user" will enable to phillip, charles and alex to write and read that directory. But "admin users" which function has?
5.- Enable Samba and add users to samba:
Code:
echo 'samba_enable="YES"' > /etc/rc.conf
smbpasswd -a phillip
smbpasswd -a charles
smbpasswd -a alex
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/samba startPoints 2,3,4 I need to be sure are fine. Please, I need your suggestions, comments, thank you very much!
