Man page updates for SMB
* Update manpage with more information about the ACL, guest access and that samba needs to be able to authenticate user(s). * Add information that 'net' can be used to modify the share after ZFS sharing and that it will be undone with a 'zfs unshare'. * Give an example on how to mount a SMB filesystem shared via ZFS. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Closes #1181 Issue #1170

-In Linux, the share is created with the acl "Everyone:F" by default, meaning that everyone have read access. This however isn't the full truth: Any access control on the underlaying filesystem supersedes this.
+In Linux, the share is created with the ACL (Access Control List) "Everyone:F" ("F" stands for "full permissions", ie. read and write permissions) and no guest access (which means samba must be able to authenticate a real user, system passwd/shadow, ldap or smbpasswd based) by default. This means that any additional access control (dissalow specific user specific access etc) must be done on the underlaying filesystem.

In the future, ZoL will be able to set specific options directly using sharesmb=<option>.
