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
