hi,
ontap 6.1.1r2 nfs and cifs, nt4 domain and nis.
i have a user whose dirs and files keep getting their ownership changed to root and then he can't manipulate the files. he accesses his files from win nt 4 with an nfs client.
What kind of security are you using, unix,ntfs or mixed? The latter one may cause more or less obscure problems.
is this happening because his id is in the nt domain admins group and administrator is mapped to root in usermap.cfg? if so, what is a good way to approach this? admins should always have two ids?
Just the way NT works in a CIFS/NetApp environment. How does the netapp decide what Hat the admin is working under, as administrator or as self as a normal user?
This is a problem I encounter often in a mixed environment. As long as the admin group users are not mixing environment ie just working from the NT world, things work usually OK. Ofcourse I have often a problem as I work in both worlds, and often have to change ownerships of my files to myself on my unix box.

This came over this list a while back and fixed my problems with the same situation.
options wafl.nt_admin_priv_map_to_root off
if options wafl.nt_admin_priv_map_to_root causes this problem when is it appropriate to use it? in cifs only environment?
