Thanks!

IT sounds like what we need is a "cred-GID" am I reading this right?

I want to give an NT user the right to access files from his NT box that members of his unix group can access on the Unix side, on a filer set to unix file perms

Please forgive any NT terminology mangling, I'm a Unix person:

We've got a filer that is set up as a Unix filesystem (as opposed to multiprotocol.) Our NT users access their home directories as NT shares on this filer. Their NT login names match their Unix user id's.

On the unix side, I created a group and made a group-writeable directory that is not readable to others. When the NT users log into our unix machine, they can write files in this directory. When they access this directory from the Unix side, only the owner can write files.

Is this fixable? Without making dramatic changes to the filer? (I do have enough space to make a small extra partition if I really had to) -- Elizabeth Schwartz 781-262-6565 Unix System Administrator eschwart@bbnplanet.com Genuity, Inc
