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?
