RE: CIFS, ownership and chowning from nfs -Reply - toasters

      There is a utility called ntchown.exe that will allow you
change the ownership of NT files/dirs to the appropriate 
user (so that even on the Unix side, it is changed from root
to the user) without touching the ACL's on the NT side. You
should be able to get this from support
Word of caution on this utility. If you ntchown a Unix based
security file ... you will blow away the Unix security and
place an NT acl on that area

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.
A reminder, there is a security troubleshooter on the NOW site 
that can help you walk through to a solution for most kinds of 
problems like this.  Go to NOW and search for "security".  It's 
called the "Data ONTAP 5.3 Security Troubleshooting Guide".
