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...

The username and password of the nas user should match that of the PC or Mac username/ password combination.
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.

Is that true for both smb/afp?

I still don't understand the purpose of a separate folder owner.
By the way thanks for help!
