I share my snapshots via SAMBA. In
/usr/local/etc/smb.conf I have:

[Maurizio]
path = /pool500gb/shared/maurizio
comment = Drive per Maurizio
browseable = yes
writeable = yes
public = yes

[Maurizio-Snapshot]
path = /pool500gb/shared/maurizio/.zfs/snapshot
comment = Snapshot del drive per Maurizio
browseable = yes
writeable = no
public = yes


where Maurizio is my work drive and Maurizio-Snapshot is the zfs snaphot
