ASU permissions and Unix folders...

Dear ASU experts,

When requesting share permission information using "net access" or "net
perms" (we have Compaq Advanced Server V5.1A ECO3 for UNIX), I have noticed
some shares and Unix folders having permissions for "Server Operators" and
"SYSTEM". I wish to know what happens if I remove these from the Unix
folders.

I have already tried this on one of our shares. The result was that I am
able to continue granting and revoking users/groups on this share, but once
I do it on the relevant Unix folder, I CANNOT grant/revoke ANY user/group to
that folder anymore, even if I am logged into ASU under Unix as the domain
Administrator (we currently have the ASU server as part of an NT domain but
soon we will be migrating to MS Active Directory 2003).

Can someone please throw some light on what has gone wrong and how I can
retrieve the affected folders? Thanks in advance.
