groups into NIS. Otherwise, you could have duplicate users/groups in
the domains. This also ensures that mappings between the domains
are consistent.

Create Mask for DOS Files and Directories

NewsShare NAS is a UNIX-based operating system. Although Windows/DOS
has a larger set of modes than UNIX specifies for permissions, all NewsShare
NAS files and directories are assigned a UNIX-format octal mask for
permissions.

UNIX permissions are defined as follows:

• The first digit (left-most) of the octal mask controls owner access

permissions.

• The second digit (middle) controls the group access permissions.

• The third digit (right-most) controls permissions for all other users.

• Within each digit, reading the bits from left to right, the bits stand for: read,

write, execute.

For example, the default create mask of 744 means that the owner can read,
write, and execute; group members and others can read only. The default
directory mask of 754 means that the owner can read, write, and execute; group
members can read and execute; others can read only.
