Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates subtle Windows bias by consistently mentioning SMB (a Windows protocol) and its features before NFS (the Linux/UNIX equivalent), especially in sections on permissions and encryption. Windows-specific terminology (ACLs, advanced permissions, inheritance flags) is used without parallel Linux/NFS examples or command-line demonstrations. There are no explicit Linux command examples or references to Linux tools, and Active Directory (a Windows-centric LDAP service) is the only directory service mentioned for LDAP integration.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel Linux/NFS command-line examples (e.g., show how to set NFS export policies or file permissions using Linux commands like chmod, setfacl, or exportfs).
- Balance the order of presentation: alternate between NFS and SMB, or present NFS examples first in some sections.
- Include references to Linux-based directory services (such as OpenLDAP) in the LDAP encryption section, or clarify if only Active Directory is supported.
- Use cross-platform terminology where possible, and clarify Windows-specific terms for non-Windows users.
- Add explicit Linux/NFS security configuration examples and best practices, not just protocol descriptions.
