4.8.4 EVERYONE & ANONYMOUS Share Access Rights
With an EVERYONE access right, you still need to log in. Every local user with an account
on the NSA can access this share using their username and password. Users with accounts on a
domain server cannot access shares with EVERYONE access rights. EVERYONE has every
local user as a member. It does NOT include domain users.
With ANONYMOUS CIFS, no login is required. If you enter a valid user name but wrong
password, the session is rejected. If the user name is invalid, then the session is considered
'anonymous'.
With ANONYMOUS FTP, you must enter either 'anonymous' or 'ftp' as the user name. Any
other name is considered a user name, so must be valid and have a corresponding correct
password.
If you are already logged into a share using your username and password, you
will NOT be able to access a share that has ANONYMOUS CIFS or
ANONYMOUS FTP only access rights (as these require 'no login'). If this is
not your intention, it is recommended you set EVERYONE AND
ANONYMOUS CIFS and/or ANONYMOUS FTP access rights to these type
shares.

4.8.5 DFS

Distributed File System (DFS) is a network server component that makes it easier for you to
find and manage data on your network. Through DFS, you can build a single hierarchical file
system whose contents are distributed throughout your organization's WAN. It permits shares
to be hierarchically connected to other Windows shares. Since DFS is a logical mapping, the
physical location of data becomes transparent to your users and applications.
You can use DFS links when accessing the NSA using CIFS, not FTP.
