Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. SMB share management is described exclusively via Windows tools (MMC console), with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives. Examples and screenshots for SMB features (such as access-based enumeration, nonbrowsable shares, and ACLs) are all shown using Windows Explorer or Windows-specific commands, with no Linux or macOS equivalents. The documentation refers to 'net view' and Windows Explorer as the primary ways to interact with SMB shares, and does not provide parity for Linux users (e.g., using smbclient, mount.cifs, or other tools). There are no examples or instructions for managing SMB share permissions or accessing SMB shares from Linux clients.
Recommendations
- Include instructions and examples for managing SMB share permissions and accessing SMB shares from Linux clients (e.g., using smbclient, mount.cifs, or relevant Linux tools).
- Mention and demonstrate how Linux/macOS users can view and interact with SMB shares, including how access-based enumeration and nonbrowsable shares behave in those environments.
- Provide parity in screenshots and examples, showing both Windows and Linux client perspectives for SMB features.
- Reference cross-platform tools for managing SMB shares and ACLs, such as setfacl, smbclient, or other open-source utilities.
- Clarify whether features like access-based enumeration and nonbrowsable shares apply equally to non-Windows clients, and document any differences.
