Quesy regarding Network Access vs File Access
Hi All, I've now got my ReadyNAS 314, installed a single WD Red 1TB (for now), and upgrade to ReadyNAS v6.1.8. I've set-up my users, and started to work on my shares. However I confused between...
Hi :)
I'm interested in your post 'cause as a newbie (in both NAS and LINUX) file permissions are crucial (see my post here).
I don't have a Linux background (unfortunately) so something that I say may sounds silly because of that.
So.. in your first post you say "the weakest on the two sets of rights applies" but after, in the next post, you say "Either way the least permissive of the two applies" (which means strongest, the opposite).
Also for me english is not my first language so I possibly have misunderstood something :)
Many thanks

"Least permissive" is correct, and results in the most restrictive policy.. Personally I wouldn't use strong/weak to describe this. Strong implies inherently better (there is no value in weak encryption, unless you are wanting to do mass surveillance). However, more restrictive is not inherently better than less restrictive, and there are use cases where less restrictive is what you need.
