Sounds like the right solution to my problem in it solves a few problems, but I am rather curious about how it would integrate with a potential Samba server running on the same system (in case someone needs a domain controller as well as a fileserver).
1 - Samba can store the DOS attributes of a file in an xattr. Can sharesmb do that? If so, is it compatible with Samba? 2 - Regarding that, are Resource_Forks/xattr/Alternate_data_streams supported? 3 - How do I set share ACLs (allowed users, and their rights)? 4 - How do I set the share name? 5 - Will it support the smb2 protocol? 5b - ill it work over IPv6? 6 - Is Shadow Copy supported (using zfs snapshots) ? 7 - How will it map nss users to domain users? Will it be able to connect to Winbind? 8 - Kerberos authentication support? 9 - Will it support the NT priviledges? I could select a normal user on my network, and with a simple net rpc rights grant SeBackupPrivilege, SeRestorePrivilege, ACLs can be overridden by that user in a Windows environment. A user of the sharesmb service might expect that. In my personal case, I need 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9. And I am sure that more will come-up, as these are the ones that came to my mind right now. Anyway, congratulations on the sharesmb thing. If it has a flexible/configurable implementation (for the ones with complex rules in an environment), but with sane defaults (for normal, users), it will be a hit.
