Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in the SMB section by exclusively referencing Windows tools (e.g., MMC console, Windows Explorer, 'net view') for managing and viewing SMB share permissions. There are no examples or instructions for managing SMB shares or permissions from Linux or macOS clients. The documentation also describes SMB share enumeration and access scenarios solely from a Windows perspective, with screenshots and workflows based on Windows environments. NFS sections are platform-neutral, but SMB sections lack Linux parity.
Recommendations
- Include instructions or examples for managing SMB share permissions from Linux clients, such as using smbclient, mount.cifs, or setfacl.
- Provide screenshots or command-line examples for accessing SMB shares and viewing permissions from Linux or macOS systems.
- Mention Linux/macOS tools (e.g., Nautilus, Dolphin, Finder, smbclient) alongside Windows tools when describing how to browse or mount SMB shares.
- Clarify that SMB shares can be accessed and managed from non-Windows clients and provide relevant guidance.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows tools are introduced together, or alternate which platform is mentioned first.
