Yes, it seems somewhat necessary that I will have to get the Macs to
authenticate against AD to share the privileges scheme and authority,
the same as the win users understand.
But I hope that's all that needs to be done. I'm not looking forward
to "extending schemas" or getting some kind of extra Unix LDAP
functionality to work on Windows, besides what AD supports out of the
box.
If Xsan does not support Mac OS X ACLs, then I don't see if
supporting Windows ACLs, right?

Hi Everyone.
I am looking at my first Windows (2003 server) integration into
Xsan using StorNext. This specific Xsan setup is currently
running Panther 10.3.9 (client an server) and Xsan 1.1. Besides
RTFM (the Xsan Admin 1.1 manual) and checking which version of
StorNext is compatible with Xsan, I am curious how the whole users
and privileges thing will play out. The windows users are using
AD accounts, but the Mac ppl are using local accounts (bad, i
know!). I might switch the Mac users to OD or AD accounts and see
what happens (fun!). Any gotchas? Or real world advice from
anyone doing this now?
1- The Mac and Windows systems will need to be bound to a common
directory system.
2- You will need to verify with ADIC StorNext's Windows<->Unix
integration support for your environment.
