Abstract
A system, device, and method for managing file security attributes in a computer file storage system generates a set of Windows file security attributes from a set of UNIX file security attributes. The set of Windows file security attributes includes a UNIX-specific SID for a UNIX name that could not be translated into a Windows name. The set of Windows file security attributes also includes a set of Windows file permissions derived from a set of UNIX file permissions.
