	      Use customized name <smb name> when using share points with smb.

     -s <flags>
	      Use this option to enable and disable sharing via afp and smb.  By default a share point is enabled for afp and smb protocols.  To
	      enable and disable particular services, combine (binary AND) the following flags as required: 100 (enable sharing for afp) and 001
	      (enable sharing for smb).  Specify 000 to turn off sharing of a share point altogether.

     -g <guest flag>
	      Use this option to enable and disable guest access for afp and smb.  By default guest access is enabled for afp and smb.	To enable
	      and disable guest access to particular services, combine (binary AND) the following flags as required: 100 (enable guest for afp)
	      and 001 (enable guest for smb).  Specify 000 to turn off guest access for a share point altogether.

     -i <inherit privileges flag>
	      Use this option to enable and disable the "inherit privileges" attribute for afp.  By default "inherit privileges" is enabled for
	      afp.  To enable "inherit privileges", combine (binary AND) the following flags as required: 10 ("inherit privileges" for afp).
	      Specify 00 to turn off "inherit privileges" for a share point altogether.

     -n <customized record name>
	      Specify a <customized record name> to be used as the share point record name.  By default the record name is the name of the direc-
	      tory pointed to by the share point record.  This directory is specified by the <path> when the record is created.
