Registered user? (OS X)
OS X user. When I select the ReadyNAS in the left column in Finder, I see it showing as "Connected as: Guest" with a "Connect as..." button. NEver had an issue with connecting as a guest, but out of curiosity how does one set up users, and how do they relate to OSX user accounts (as in, how would I crete NAS users for each OS X user acocunt)

Regards,No, that didn't help. The software and options on that page were nothing like I have available to me.
The basic answer is that you first create a user account on the NAS. Then you set those account credentials in Finder (optionally telling it to add them to the keychain).
I'm not a mac guy, but there is a (perhaps dated) guide on the Finder side of things here: https://users.wfu.edu/yipcw/atg/apple/smb/
