No longer able to change /etc/exports from Window etc$

[#1]

Hi, All the sudden, I can not make any changes to /etc/exports any more from mapped Window etc$.

I tried to use notepad, Wordpad, and Words. After I make changes, and save it, then I do "rdfile /etc/exports" on the filer, it still shows me the old one.

What did I wrong? I use to work. Also, what is /etc/exports.BAK? I remove it, still the same.

I know I could do wrfile /etc/exports, but sometime I need to edit it.

I have spent quite sometime, but could not figure it out.

Hi, ASHWANI8HIGHS,

I used two different login ID, say A and B, both of them has Administrator priviledge on the filer, so, what you indicated seems correct.

However, when I log into the share from Window this moring, as either A or B, it won't even allow me to open it, there is "X" on the file (also on quite some other files as well). It seems after I logged out yesterday, and back in again, the permission got refreshed.

How could I clear up this mess? Are there any way on the filer side to allow me reset the permission?
