Read sections 1.3 and 1.5 from the following link and you should be fine:

The chmod as you've mentioned below is recommended.

Hi Everyone,

This is my second thread and I must say that I've found this forum very useful and helpful. I'm in the process of refining my new NAS but have ran into some difficulties. I'm still new so hopefully, this thread will help those trying to follow in my footsteps.
Here's some background from my last thread but I will re-iterate what I'm 
attempting to accomplish.

http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=99761&tstart=0

I would like to grasp setting CIFS in a workgroup environment before moving to 
AD. My goal is to create a share and set group permissions for access from 
Windows boxes.

From what i've read in this forum, the best approach is the following:

-Create your zfs dataset and share it with full access.
r...@osbox:~# zpool create zstorage raidz2 c4t0d0 c4t1d0 c5t0d0 c5t1d0 c6t0d0 
c6t1d0
/usr/bin/chmod A=everyone@:full_set:allow /zstorage/Software

-Create your windows users and groups then mimic them by creating the exact 
same on Solaris.
/etc/passwd
soft:x:65535:100::/export/home/soft:/bin/bash

/etc/group
software::100:
-Create the necessary windows shares then assign the accurate group permissions.

So far, I've create user "soft"/group "software" through the desktop GUI on Solaris and through "local user and groups" on Windows XP. I'm about to test this setup however i would like some input as to whether this is the best approach.
Thanks to all those who read this thread,

Mr. Hu Mongous.
