Environment

Novell iManager 2.7.4
Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES 2) Linux Support Pack 2
Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES 2) Linux Support Pack 3

Situation

Currently it is not possible to correctly set trustee target rights using the Distributed File Service (DFS) role within iManager.
The trustee rights are not applied at all or change every time they are being viewed.

Resolution

The current workaround is to use the Rights role from within iManager.

UPDATE: fixed in the May 2011 OES2 patch release. Relevant versions are

novell-plugin-dfs-1.0.1-0.5.1.x86_64.rpm
novell-plugin-dfs-1.0.1-0.5.1.src.rpm

or later.
