Has anyone had the problem of Microsoft Word or Excel file writes taking over ownership of a file?
I have a 720 at OS version of 5.1.2R3 running both the NFS and CIFS protocols. The filer contains only the root volume which has multiple qtrees of UNIX style security.
Scenario:
CIFS user#1 creates a Microsoft Word document which has write access at the UNIX group level. CIFS user#2, who is in the same UNIX group, modifies the file and automatically becomes the UNIX owner of the file.
This works the same for Excel documents but not for text documents using Notepad.
All help is appreciated.
