This can be done via rsh or ssh depending on your environment (ssh preferred of course). From the filer prompt:
filer> cifs shares -add Share_Name /vol/vol_name/path/path/....
This translates to "C:\rsh filer_name 'cifs shares -add Share_Name /vol/vol_name/path/path/...'
By default this will be everyone full control at both the share and file-system level so you'll need to take care of perms (pretty easy if you're already scripting user creation).

Subject Auto Creation of Windows Share
List, I think I lost the part of my mind that this information stored in it. But what is the syntax, from a Win2k3 server, to create a Windows share on a F810 filer. Basically I want to automate the creation of Users to include their home directory on the file. I can easily automate creating the directory on the filer, but what about the share? Currently we do it via Filer view or use Manage from My Computer. Thanks in advance.
