-Controls whether the file system is shared by using the Solaris \fBCIFS\fR service, and what options are to be used. A file system with the \fBsharesmb\fR property set to \fBoff\fR is managed through traditional tools such as \fBsharemgr\fR(1M). Otherwise, the file system is automatically shared and unshared with the \fBzfs share\fR and \fBzfs unshare\fR commands. If the property is set to \fBon\fR, the \fBsharemgr\fR(1M) command is invoked with no options. Otherwise, the \fBsharemgr\fR(1M) command is invoked with options equivalent to the contents of this property.
+Controls whether the file system is shared by using \fBSamba USERSHARES\fR, and what options are to be used. Otherwise, the file system is automatically shared and unshared with the \fBzfs share\fR and \fBzfs unshare\fR commands. If the property is set to \fBon\fR, the \fBnet\fR(8) command is invoked to create a \fBUSERSHARE\fR.

+Because \fBSMB\fR shares requires a resource name, a unique resource name is constructed from the dataset name. The constructed name is a copy of the dataset name except that the characters in the dataset name, which would be illegal in the resource name, are replaced with underscore (\fB_\fR) characters. The ZFS On Linux driver does not (yet) support additional options which might be availible in the Solaris version.

+If the \fBsharesmb\fR property is set to \fBoff\fR, the file systems are unshared.
+.sp
+In Linux, the share is created with the ACL (Access Control List) "Everyone:F" ("F" stands for "full permissions", ie. read and write permissions) and no guest access (which means samba must be able to authenticate a real user, system passwd/shadow, ldap or smbpasswd based) by default. This means that any additional access control (dissalow specific user specific access etc) must be done on the underlaying filesystem.
