Here's the trouble I'm running into and the question that it raises.
I'm getting ready to turn on CIFS on our filer (F820) so that our users have one file system to deal with and not two. In my experiments I have seen some strange behavior that goes something like this:
If the qtrees are unix mode then my unix host that has root privs can see and manipulate files just fine.
If the qtrees are mixed mode then on some files the unix host can manipulate files and on some it cannot.
It can even get to the point that a file/directory that a user creates under windows cannot be accessed by that same user from unix (if the filer is in mixed mode).
So, my questions are:
1. Has anyone seen this behavior before?
2. If a user disappears from Active Directory and I have to recreate them will the new SID be a problem if the user has the same name?
3. Does anyone have any thoughts on which security mode (unix or mixed) for a filer that is serving NFS to an NIS domain and CIFS to a Windows AD Domain?
Thanks Colin J.
