Im not sure if this is a bug or if Im somehow doing this entirely incorrectly.

Let me describe what I am after, btw I am using snv_118.

I have one user named 'home' which is the user I created when installing 
OpenSolaris.  I created a raidz2 fs called storage, and then a sub directory 
using zfs create called storage/backup.  

After that I created a few 'Basic Solaris Users' and gave them passwords in 
CIFS.  

Now all that I want is for any user to be able to read,write,execute,delete 
anything in any folder.  So to accomplish this I tried the basics such as:

chmod -R 777 /storage/backup

If a user creates a folder on their Windows machine, my 'home' account cannot 
write or change any files they created.

So to test this out I created a folder (on the local opensolaris machine using 
'home') in my /storage/backup and merely tried to create a file (which I can 
do) then I tried to write to it (which claims I dont have the correct 
permissions)

So I decided maybe some permissions were getting messed up so I did:
chown -R home /storage/backup 
to make sure that everything was owned by home.

Still I couldn't write to the file I created. 


Ive about gone insane trying to figure out how to just merely have any user 
access anything.


If I right click on a folder and go to permissions, I can change it to 
'read/write' but when I click OK, then go back into the permissions screen, it 
didn't save the read/write part of that.  

So is this a bug or do I just have no idea how to assign permissions?


Once I figure this out, I would like the user 'home' to make certain folders 
read only for the basic users.  

Thank you for your time
