Access denied on other users files in AD share
I've got a ReadyNAS 2100 on a windows 2000 AD domain. The NAS is on the domain and can see all of my users and groups but I am having an issue creating shares for group access. I've seen similar threa...
Hi,
did you get to the bottom of this? I had a long call with Netgear support and we had to leave the top level shares as default, and manipulate some of the shares via telnet to the nas to check the perms are set..
the issue i had was that no matter what settings i put on the share in the gui, the rights set on the underlying folders just wouldnt stick or failed.. and any files or folders created by a user on a shared drive were ONLY writeable by them even though the whole folder had an inheritance for all the users in a group.
We had to set the top level folders owners etc via the getfacl and setfacl commands to set the correct groups on the folders.
Apparently its a Posix-Windows translation issue, not sure if the Netgear guys are working on a fix or not? now whenever i create a share i go in and check the owner and permissions on the folder.. to make it easier I have one top level share called DATA and i create folders such as Finance, operations etc under there which are then mapped via a login script directly and perms set on these folders rather than mess around with a lot of shares all the time.. seems to be working well now..
let me know if you still have the issue but you would probably be advised to talk to support and get them to do the same as I did, otherwise i can share some of the more in depth troubleshooting steps if you get stuck.
definitely upgrade to 4.2.19 though.
