Are you using "mixed" mode for security? Whenever I've seen that happen in the past it was become some windows admin made some global permissions change on a mixed-mode share.
I inherited the Filers from the previous admins (all left). The home dir ones (2) have a Default Security Style of "mixed". My previous experience was in Unix-only environments.
I suspect a windows admin bugaboo as you responders suggested.
As for fixing the users (a couple) who insist on returning their mucked-up dirs to it's former state, I'll find a way somehow.
Questions: - What's the effect of changing the Default Security Style from mixed-mode to UNIX? Rephrasing, what's the effect on Windows usage? - Can the files still be accessed/read/write from either side by the owner, or group if group names are replicated between UNIX & AD? - And what about a new file created from the Windows side? Will it have UNIX style permissions? - It appears Default Security Style a per-filer option - yes?
