Don't ever implement "mixed". It becomes a nightmare from the user community since changes to a file from Windoze automatically changes (and sometimes screws up) the Unix perms.
Educating the user community on this is basically impossible, so avoid it. You can't expect users to know that if they change a file in Windoze, they need to re-verify the perms in Unix.
From Ontap 6.1 manual regarding mixed-mode security: ---------- If NTFS permissions on a file are changed, the Unix permissions are "recomputed" (quotes mine). If Unix permissions on a file are changed, the NTFS permissions are DELETED. -----------

Hello all:
I have a large number of windows/unix home directories on my NetApps all under unix qtrees. I'm a unix admin so this works great for me but the NT admins have complained that they can access their users data. I would like any war stories, opions, etc from people who have tried and or use the mixed qtrees for this purpose. Any suggestions and what not are totally welcomed!
Thank you sooo much for your time 8)
