I am going to assume that you mean that in order to make windows give permissions to Dox100(who is defined as the admin login user on the desktop I use), there needs to be a NAS user with the name dox1000, and I have to be logged in as that person. My question then becomes why would I all of a sudden need such an account to have write/delete permissions when I never did before? I know it is not optimal, but how would I need to correct this problem assuming I was logged in as admin on the NAS/Mapped Network Drive?
I have noticed with 4.2.24 firmware that when I drop/drag files a read-only file into a share, that the read-only attribute is preserved even if the CIFS configuration is set to read/write and "Automatically set permissions on new files and folders" and "Do not allow ACL changes to be more restrictive than this" are checked. I don't recall seeing this before, and was wondering if anyone else is seeing this.
