Readynas 314 support for UNIX / Share level security.
Hi all, We currently have an old 1000s that is is starting to have disk failures (as expected after such a long time). Functionally the unit works well for what we need although it is very slow. ...

Thanks for the quick reply.
We do use a Windows Domain but to be honest I'm not that great with the Windows security front so I'm not sure what impact adding it to the domain would have. Does this exclude machines that aren't part of the domain from using the shared directories, I'm guessing it would?
We also want to be able to create/view/share files between Windows and UNIX/Linux.
On our UNIX machines we typically just use root user and rarely have specific users defined (I work in a database support team for a database company so these are not true production systems). So on our UNIX/Linux machines we usually just have an NFS mount to the NAS share and away we go.
Will we be able to share files between Windows / UNIX / Linux if the NAS is part of the Windows domain?
Sorry if they sound like dumb questions, I've never played with Domains / AD before.
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Dave.
