Egnyte and ReadyNAS
I was wondering if anyone has tested out the Egnyte software with the readynas as it appears to be the only out of the box NAS that will run their software. It looks quite promising http://egnyte.com ...

I've tried the egnyte software - though not a particularly thorough test. Overall it appeared to do as it claimed with no major issues except one - I could only get it to work under windows. I reported the issue to which was acknowledged by Egnyte, but no follow up since then and the lack of mac support stopped my tests pretty much dead (I only ran the windows test to diagnose why I couldn't get the software to work on my mac)
BTW: My issue may not actually be an Egnyte caused problem. It was this that caused the issue:
The permissions are enforced via ACLs on the ReadyNAS - they were there and all seemed correct but my macs could not access any protected folder over AFP or CIFS, and ReadyNAS hasn't rolled out NFSv4 yet (though it appears to be in the kernel). So this may be somethign related to ACL support on Macs or on the ReadyNAS

Local access permissions are automatically managed
Egnyte synchronizes all access permissions from the Cloud File Server into the NAS device. This allows users to access files locally with the same level of security as they would on the Cloud File Server. No additional directory service is required to establish access security. Optionally, it can integrate with an existing directory service like Active Directory."
