I think I know what he meant.... to me it is more like a roadway and a series of gates. SMB is the roadway between the computers running whatever OS. Each computer interrogates the "road user" for a uid and pwd and lets them in to alter files if they answer correctly according to a list the computer has.The way one of my Microsoft instructors explained it to me was that permission to a given remote file is like going through 2 separate gates. One gate is called SMB and the other gate is called FS. If a user has permission to go through both gates then they will be able to perform actions on the remote file. Neither gate, however, determines the other gate's permissions.
Now, I hope that makes sense written down because I've just re-read it and it looks like random rantings to me :D
Grant.
Probably wrong but it makes sense to me :)
Kind regards,
