sorry for the delay.
Response is 6 to 7 media clients, with the main one (living room openelec xbmc) usually spewing the 720 content, often with 5.1 audio so tracks that range from 1.5G to 5G per file. Add to that load the other machines, typical laptops mostly running Windows 7 to be specific but my Mac is in there as well.
My problem is with sharing the shares, or more specifically limiting sharing. I would like to be able to blacklist the kids systems, and their friends systems, access to specific subdirectories.
To spell out an example, purely hypothetical, say I have a ZFS share called TV, that would be a drive, then in that folder lets say I have directories like Glee, and Pretty Little Liars, then files like Dexter, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones. I would want the main system to see all, with read n write (linux box), as well theres a vm on the solaris that also needs RW to all files, then my MacBook and my wife's laptop would have R to all files, also I would want my jailbroke iPad to have R for all... then I slip into the filtered systems. Best case scenario is that the rest of the machines don't even see the Dexter directory.
I had tried to get my Solaris shares to work, but had problems with share permissions, I think I missed on who would log in how sort of thing.
The VM runs a program that sorts TV episodes called "theRenamer" actually, and takes the files from a folder and writes to the server, nicely sorted, renamed, and organized. I was thinking having multiple folders for TV, TV Censored, and TV All or something, but then I have a hard time with any automation scripts due to having to sort separate files in different spots.
I guess what I should be asking is more along the lines of "Could someone help me with permissions sets for Solaris SMB shares?" ?

Also the OSX server *may* consist of a lot of Gigabyte products, including motherboard and video card.

screen cap of the desktop of my MacBook showing 1 - Chicken VNC view of the Solaris server named - I know all creative like - "server". I opened the /puddle zpool to show the ZFS drives. Also 2- the SMB shares mounted on MacBook.
Time drive also mounted is a separate 2Tb drive, doesn't count from the main standpoint of the shares.
