1865.0. "losseing accounts shares anf permisions." by KERNEL::BURNST () Thu May 29 1997 12:00

    Hi
        I have a the same cust as note 1864 who is having the following problem.
    
        Using DECUNIX 4.0a  PWUNIX 6.1 eco 1 alpha 2000
    	He is seeing some "coruption" of the user accounts database.
    
    	He is saying that users  can "disappear" from the system.
    	             that shares can "disappear" from the system.
                     that users access rights can be modified from what
    they are set on some directorys to the basic access rights of the
    directory above.
    
    ie 		global		everybody rx
    		app1            group1 full control
    		app2		group2 full control
    
    will change "for no apparent reason" to 
    
     		global		everybody rx
    		app1            everybody rx
    		app2		group2 full control
    
    as if the permissions from dir app1 are removed and then the inherited
    permisions are used.
    
    It almost looks like "malicious" system interferece, but with full
    aduiting of all events shows nothing from event viewer /elfread or any
    log files for any errors.
    
    Does anybody have any ideas what could caust this. The cust has 1500+
    accounts and does do a few set file permisions, from a NT multia that he
    is using as his admin station,. Could this be a corruption prob similar
    to the prob of running permit tree on the 5.ox servers. Uning samcheck
    is showing no "real" corruption probs on the databases.
