Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in the SMB section by referencing Windows-specific tools (MMC console, Windows Explorer, 'net view') for managing and viewing SMB share permissions, without mentioning Linux/macOS alternatives. All screenshots and examples for SMB management are Windows-centric, and there are no examples or instructions for accessing or managing SMB shares from Linux or macOS clients. The NFS section is more platform-neutral, but the SMB section assumes a Windows environment for administrative tasks.
Recommendations
- Include instructions and screenshots for managing SMB share permissions from Linux and macOS clients (e.g., using smbclient, mount.cifs, or Nautilus/Finder).
- Mention Linux/macOS tools for viewing and modifying SMB ACLs, such as 'smbcacls', 'smbclient', or 'mount.cifs' options.
- Provide parity in examples: show how to access nonbrowsable shares, enumerate shares, and verify SMB3 encryption from Linux/macOS.
- Clarify which features are available or limited based on client OS, and link to relevant cross-platform guides.
- Avoid language that implies Windows is the default or only supported platform for SMB administration.
