The result of lmstat -v :

Advanced Server V5.0 ECO2 for UNIX
Built on Mon Feb 19 21:22:40 EST 2001
Build BL13 (Rev 391) based on 2.892

The OS:
Operating System: Digital UNIX V4.0F Rev. 1229

With other checks i noticed an irregular behaviour:the first two files i
created in Tru64 in the same subdirectory with the same user, don't
inherits the parent directory perimission; when i created a third file, in
the same situation, it inherits the correct permission!
>From windows, i have in the same directory one file accessible and two not
accessible!
I stopped and restarted the server, with the same result: an irregular
behaviour.
Today i repeated the same operations, but all seem works fine!!
Can i try some check?

Thanks
Emilio

Hello Emilio -

I work in the ASU Engineering Team and received the question that you
submitted to the Tru64 Managers list. What version of ASU are you
running? You can find this information by typing "lmstat -v" on the
UNIX command line of the ASU server.

Let me verify that I understand the problem correctly. You have a
directory that we'll call dir1. This directory has some NT permissions
on it. When you create a file (called dir1/file1) from a PC, the
permissions are displayed correctly. When a file is created on the UNIX
system by a user that does not map to an ASU/NT user from the UNIX
command line, it does not inherit the proper NT permissions.

Usually, new files that are created will inherit the NT permissions of
the parent directory. If the parent directory does not have explicit NT
permissions, ASU will continue up until it finds a directory that has NT
permissions set.

I'm configuring ASU on a Tru64 4.0F XP-1000 workstation, in a W2000
domain. My only problem is the next one: i would manage windows
permissions on the files; all works fine when the file is created from a
windows station ( i disabled the check of tru64 permissions ). But when
the file is created directly in tru64 by a user that exists only in
tru64 ( and don't exists in the domain ), the file don't inherits the
permissions from its parent directory, as happen if the file is created
from a windows station, but inherits the permissions:
Asuserver/Administrator Asuserver/PoweUsers Domain/DomainAdmins SYSTEM

I would the files created from Tru64 behave exactly as the windows
created files; if this is not possible, i would map the Tru64 user on a
Win2000 domain's group, in order to permit the windows users access to
the Tru64's users created files.

Some suggestions
Thanks
Emilio
