Environment
Netware 6.5 sp5
Windows NT
Migrating from the Windows NT box to the Netware server using
the CMT utility. (migration tool kit)
Situation
The migration went fine. No errors. However after the
migration was finished users did not have rights to directories
that had been migrated from the NT server. The user trustee
assignments were still intact but these rights did not flow down to
any of the subdirectories. The problem is that NT does not have
inheritance in their trustee structure. To accommodate this,
Netware imposes an IRF on all subdirectories imported from the
Windows server. These IRFs must then be eliminated from the Netware
server for these migrated directories. Then the rights will flow
down as they should. The rights filter can be checked at the
workstation dos box by using the rights.exe command:
rights /F
This will show what rights have been filtered out due to the
IRF. The rights command can be used to remove this filter if
desired.
rights /? /F
will provide a help screen with all the available filtering
options. Specific IRFs can be set. If all rights need to be
unfiltered the following command can be used:
rights +ALL /F /S
This command will allow all rights granted above to flow down
through the directory structure. This command can be run on any
directory or at the root directories of the volume traversing the
entire subdirectory structure.
Resolution
Use the rights command to remove the IRF after the migration is
finished.
