162 Chapter 9 Working with File Services
Updating Share Point Information
After you make a change to an SMB share point using the sharing tool, you must
update the SMB service information.
To update share point information:
$ sudo serveradmin command smb:command = syncPrefs
Viewing SMB Service Logs
To view the contents of the SMB service logs, use tail or another file-listing tool.
To view the latest entries in a log:
$ tail
log-file
To see where the SMB logs are located, use the serveradmin getLogPaths command.
To display log paths:
$ sudo serveradmin command smb:command = getLogPaths
The computer responds with the following output:
smb:fileServiceLog = <smb-log>
smb:nameServiceLog = <name-log>
Managing ACLs
For greater flexibility in configuring and managing file permissions, Mac OS X Server
implements access control lists (ACLs). An ACL is a list of access control entries (ACEs),
each specifying the permissions to be granted or denied to a group or user, and how
these permissions are propagated through a folder hierarchy.
ACLs in Mac OS X Server let you set file and folder access permissions for multiple users
and groups, in addition to standard POSIX permissions. This makes it easy to set up
collaborative environments with smooth file sharing and uninterrupted workflows,
without compromising security.
Mac OS X Server has implemented file system ACLs that are fully compatible with
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP.
For more about ACLs and how they compare to POSIX permissions, see the Overview
chapter of File Services Administration.
