setting anon=0 in your exports will set any unknown uid to roots uid, allowing unscrupulus people to create scripts which will execute as root and wreak havoc on your system.
Not a recommended procedure as far as system security is concerned!

After on of the NT/Admins went bonkers last night moving a bunch of users to the NetApp (without consulting me first), I have found that appox 10% of the user catalogs is owned by root, with unix-style permissions are drwxrwxrwx, and I am unable to change owner or permissions from either nfs-side or using SecureShare tool on the NT.
The users are unable to write to their nfs-mounted files
At the time of migration, the usermap.cfg did not contain mapping of the Admin account/group to root, and
wafl.nt_admin_priv_map_to_root on wafl.root_only_chown on
Does anyone have a clue to what can remedy this?
Try adding anon=0 onto your options in /etc/exports - that should allow you to change permissions as long as your UID is 0 (AFAIR)
