Unable to add Network Access Host to SMB
I am attempting to restrict the access to SMB through Network Access but I am unable to add a host. The + is not active so I cannot add an IP range. Any clues?
Edit: Figured it out. You must have "Everyone" selected for it to show up.

- With SMB the access rights for each host depend on the access rights of the user.
To set host access you need to enable read write access for everyone first. - SMB is user based, but you should be able to achieve what you want with a wise config of iptables via SSH.
Just an advice, if you play with iptables, make a script, test it extensively then apply it at boot, it would be a shame to be locked out for a wrong command. At least not applying settings at boot will let you restore the connectivity after a reboot.
