Question about User Shares settings

[Falc410]

Sorry for asking maybe a stupid question, but either Dynamix WebGUI uses a different terminology or the Wiki is outdated.

I can set the SMB security to: Public / Secure / Private

Public I get, but what is the difference between Secure and Private? If one is read-only, what is Private then? Because there is a separate option to have it hidden.

 

Also I can set Use Cache Disk to: No / Yes / Only

What does Only mean?

 

It also says: share empty - but I'm unable to change that. Is it important?

Public is read/write for everyone.

Secure is read for everyone, write for only specified users.

Private is read/write for only specified users.

Hidden can't be seen when browsing the network, but can be accessed by specifying the path.

Cache-only won't be moved from the cache drive. Usually used for storing applications.

Share empty just means there are no files or folders on the share. You can make it not empty by putting something in it, or make it empty by removing everything from it.

thanks for the explanation.

Here's an overview of the new security model. I don't use security but I believe this is all still valid.
