For me, as long as you haven't clarified exactly which expected vs effective permission listed before you disagree with, I can't move forward. (If you do so, please the exact lines)

FWIW, I did forward a link to this thread to a Netgear developer for comment. I'll send a reminder if I don't hear back.
It would be a useful thing if someone tried various settings, and posted the ACL and permissions that result in the file system. That can be done by any commmunity member who has SSH access enabled on their OS6 NAS.
That might also help focus this discussion into what specifically might need to be changed.

Thank you StephenB
Can you detail the needed commands that I should run in SSH for a debugging ?
I already posted the output of specific "id -a" commands in SSH
Since we are at leat 3 people in the forum to reproduce the issue, it could be a generalized issue. Again, it clearly appeared somewhere between 6.4 and 6.5.1, maybe the 6.5.x as I recall 6.4.x builds were fine when I first migrated to OS 6 and setup my groups and permissions

Honestly I don't have time to work on it right now (and since my own shares are wide open, I am not directly affected).
I was thinking that people could create a small test share, apply the settings they want in file access and network access. Then capture the output of
getfacl /volume/sharename
ls -al /volume | grep sharename
ls -al /volume/sharename
cat /volume/._share/sharename/samba.conf
I think that ought to be everything needed to analyze the results of the settings in the GUI.
