Permissions problem. Where are Share advanced options? Help!
Good morning.
I read through all posts quite carefully. As I did not find what I need, I dare post a new thread.
I have a Duo v2, with 1 WD 3TB EZRX HDD on Raid0. In the household there are 2 Macbooks both running the latest version of OS X. Duo is running the latest version of Raidiator 5.3.3. Let's say there are 2 users created - Tim and Tom. Both are connected from their Macs using AFP.
As an admin I can create shares and folders via Raidiator (or whatever is the name of this fancy black https interface). Both Tim and Tom can write in this share. However, if Tim creates a folder, Tom cannot write/delete/change in this folder anymore. Even admin cannot do it from within Finder. And vice versa - nobody can write anything in a folder created by Tom - except himself.
I understand that this is normal behaviour of (slightly paranoid) Linux running on Duo v2. However, I need a folder in which everyone can read/write freely.
Reading the threads, I came across a similar problem that was solved by going to "Advanced options" tab on "Shares" screen. There (supposedly) is the checkbox "Set ownership and permission for existing files..." & "Grant rename and delete privileges to non-owner of files." That is exactly what I need.
Now, I will be stupid. WHERE IS THIS TAB, for God's sake??? Could someone, please, direct me to it. Do I miss something, or do I have to install an additional peace of software?
Or, if it does not exist in the new (and improved!) version of software, how can I set these settings manually on selected folders?
I am by far not a *nix man. I do not know how to open a ssh console and I do not know command line Linux syntax. Sorry.
Thanks, guys. Please, help me.

- The "advanced tab" is not a feature of the new Dashboard interface at this time.
The issue you are encountering is a known issue.
Currently the only way to do what you want would require the use of SSH. - Thank you for a prompt reply.
Could you, please, give me (or point to) instructions (comlpete Linux dummy level) how to:
1. Set up ssh access.
2. Connect to my Duo.
3. Enter commands that will do what I want.
I am quite a bit surprised that such functionality was removed from the new version of software. - Ok, I made some homework :) Might be useful for other users who surely will have the same problem.
In OS X there already exists SSH client - all you have to do is start Terminal and type ssh user@server.
Now, there is a chmod command that you can use. Giving full permissions on the folder (and everything inside) to everyone will look like: chmod -r 777 [folder name]
Linux gurus, could you, please, confirm that this will do the trick?
But the problem still stays. SSH magic will process existing folders only. As soon as Tim creates another folder, it will be locked to everyone else and I will have to run SSH again. Weird and counterproductive. Is there a way to keep a folder on 777 permissions permanently?
There is another command, umask 000 that will work as a filter for the current directory. In which file should I add it so that it will always active? - you may do the following...
vi /etc/frontview/samba/Shares.conf
force create mode= 0666
create mask = 0666
force security mode = 0666
force directory mode = 0777
directory mask = 0777
force directory security mode=0777
** it is just like the advanced cifs settings ..!!
PS.. but i still get permission issue randomly, netgear please fix it !! - We will have more advanced permissions to handle this better in the future.
- edit - working now for me in beta firmware t19 and t28 :D
