folder owner, how does it work? I don't know how I fixed my problem :)
Hi, I'm just setting up a newly bought ReadyNAS 312 and having some difficulties with basic tasks. I couldn't see my share but I apparently "fixed" the problem. The problem now is I don't know how...

Is that true for both smb/afp?
I have the folder owner as admin, and the group as "users" . You should then be ble to give access to the whole users group but if you wish you can allow only one user access by setting the access rights.
I still don't understand the purpose of a separate folder owner.
By the way thanks for help!
