Mimic "Set ownership and permission for ...." in cron?
I previously posted an issue I was having with Backup errors https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/Backup-FROM-ReadyNAS-NVX-to-OSX-with-NFS/m-p/1099388 I find now that whene...
If you run top and use the "c" toggle you can see that the commands are chown -R user:group /c/sharename and chmod -R xxx /c/sharename (xxx being determined by the permissions you set).
This still seems like the wrong solution to me. Why not just create a matching group on the mac? or reset the GID for staff?
I'll try connecting to the share as admin and see if that fixes the issue. Thanks.
EDIT: Nope. Still get the error.

Is the share owned by admin? Do you have guest access enabled?
Also, are you using smb/cifs or afp???

Using AFP to connect. Guest access is enabled. Also have checked "Automatically set permissions on new files and folders.". Everything is Read/Write.
Owner is the user I was previously using to login.
Group is currently set to the group that matches the GID on the machine the backup copies to.
Maybe it's because even though Owner is a member of the Gods group, they aren't necessarily a member of the group the files need to be owned by?
EDIT: Although adding them to the group doesn't copy the files to the share with the correct group. It uses the Gods group. For the backup target the GID needs to be 20, Gods is 103.
I never use AFP (no macs), but with CIFS/SMB, using a consistent credential across all my PCs solves the problem. That credential needs to be authorized for full access.
After you apply this credential to the PCs you probably should reset the share ownership to match that credential (once).
I have no PCs and only use AFP.
