  $ smbadm show-shares server

• Mount share on a directory

  $ mount -F smbfs //server/share mount-point

• Remove an SMB Share

  $ zfs destroy pool/dataset%share-name

• List all SMB mounts

  $ mount -v | grep 'type smbfs'

• View all the SMB environment property values

  $ sharectl get smb

• Remove member from an SMB group

  $ smbadm remove-member -m member-name group-name

• Modify an SMB group property
