Permissions over Network
Hello, I am having trouble with my ReadyNAS Duo V2. I can do anything I want to from the WinXP computer that originally put the files on it, but not with other computers on my network. The ReadyN...
With all due respect to tony359, I don't recommend doing a factory reset (at least not yet). Since you have no "security" tab then you are in user security mode.
First update the firmware.
Then reset the owners and permissions of all the existing shares. The way you do this is through frontview.
(1) select "shares" from the left menu, then "share listing"
(2) for each share, select the CIFS icon (should be the first after the share name)
(a) scroll down to "advanced CIFS permission"
(b) check "Automatically set permissions on new files and folders"
(c) check "Do not allow ACL changes to be more restrictive than this."
(d) click "apply" on the bottom right.
(e) click on "advanced options" on the upper right.
(f) set share owner to "nobody", group to "nogroup"
(g) set all three rights to "read/write"
(i) check " Set ownership and permission for existing files..."
(j) check "Grant rename and delete privileges to non-owner of files."
(k) click "apply" on the bottom right. The "set ownership and permission" checkbox will clear, that is normal.
After a bit, you will get a popup saying that the set ownership is complete. Then switch to the next.
