One other scenario suggested by our use of Samba shares to maintain a repository
of vendor documentation files, distros and source tarballs, etc. involved making
two Samba shares of the same directory.

For example, \\server\pub would be a read-only share available to anyone, and
\\server\pub$ would be a read-write share available to the share's admins 
(limited 
by login names or groups, and/or IP addresses).

One point of this would be that even an admin accessing the resource shared as 
\\server\pub would not be able to modify the data in it anyhow, including 
accidents like a cat jumping onto the DEL key, a mouse misbehaving during 
drag-and-drop, rampaging virus, etc.

Is this scenario possible with Solaris kernel CIFS shares (I'm interested in 
both
sharectl/sharemgr and zfs dataset property variants)?

While I'm at it, is it correct to assume that I can limit the admins' logins 
and IP
addresses by access list on a share for CIFS as well as for NFS?
