Hi, I also saw this behaviour after re-registering my OpenFiler with my Active Directory domain. This is caused by the apply_configuration() function which is called after modifying the access on a share, or re-registering OpenFiler against an AD, and it recursively apply the rights/ownership defined by the access control of the shares. This behaviour is not a bug per se, but the way OpenFiler handles the rights/ownerships on the shares : you should only manipulate the file permissions through the OpenFiler administration web interface. So, in a previous mail in the list (see: Proposal of a "Custom access control" in OpenFiler), I proposed a patch that allow you to declare a share with "Custom access control", that tells OpenFiler not to set/reset your file permissions. I'm currently using it on a OpenFiler cluster with NFS shares, and so far, it works well. Regards, Jérôme Augé
