We have an FAS960 running NFS and CIFS. There are entries in the cifs_homedir.cfg file so that Windows users can map drives to their Unix home directories. Windows users can successfully map drives to their unix home directories but unless their files and directories are configured with write permission for "everyone", (i.e. 666 permissions for files) the Windows users cannot write to their own files and directories. The filer is not successfully matching the Windows username with the corresponding Unix username (even though the names are the same). We are using OpenLDAP for authentication on the Unix side. We have been told that "Files and directories created from unix using nfs only get their permissions read properly by other unix systems, and the same with cifs by Windows systems" but I do not believe this. I'm sure we are just not configuring the filer correctly. Any suggestions?
