access denied to data on my ReadyNAS NV+ running 4.1.14 after a changed security mode to "user" mode
I suddenly had access problem connecting my imac and windows 7 computers to my ReadyNAS NV+ data. I thus read the latest manual which said that the default security mode of "share" is not compative ...
I am just adding more information
When I add a new share the share folder owner and share folder group are blank. entering "admin" and "nogroup" as well as ticking the two boxes below and clicking "apply" results in a "successful" message but then the ticks are unticked and the fields balnked so it is not possible to set up these fields for a new share. The original shares do however have the johnsmith and admin share folder owners.
Looks to me like the OS has become corrupted as it wont now work as it used to?
Do you have a backup of your data? Before doing things like changing the security mode it is advisable to make sure your regular backup is up to date.
This is my backup! I dont do backups of backups.
I do have the original of most of the data at the moment.
The total data I had on this system was about 4Tb so not feasable to backup.
You havent offerred any suggestions or advised if this is a system problem with your software whai no longer works properly?

If the shares are open (allowing guest access) then you don't need a bunch of user accounts on the NAS. You can actually delete them all, and as long as no one is using their windows admin account, the shares will be accessible.
