I sort of thought that the man pages are the right bits to start with -
or that is what they are supposed to be. To paraphrase them with my
understanding would possibly do a disservice - especially considering
that some of the options might be exactly what the OP was looking for
but couldn't articulate.

I did ask for follow up information just in case the information in the
man pages wasn't clear enough and even pointed out that when using
'security = share', shares such as homes/profile/netlogon were not
relevant.

I honestly don't know how I could have been more helpful in my first
reply which was my time 6:15 AM and I am GMT -7:00
