hi,

we are migrating our files from sun/NFS to filer/cifs. i have clustered f760's running ontap 5.36r2. for testing the data is copied over using cpio and the unix perms are maintained.

i found the note shown below on page 421 of the Ontap SAG. i find it confusing and a little contradictory -- every windows user is given full access, but if you don't set ntfs file sec then unix perms are enforced?

"Note When you create an NTFS qtree or change a qtree to NTFS, by default, every Windows user is given full access. You must change the permissions if you want to restrict access to the qtree for some users. If you do not set NTFS file security on a file, UNIX permissions are enforced."

could someone please clear this up? what if the unix perms say no?? is this just written poorly?

thanks.
