Strange File Permissions



Good morning,

Running in a Win2K3/R2 (64-Bit) I'm seeing some very weird things happening
with file permissions and ownership. I've got about 3TB of storage with
multiple shares and I'm seeing entire file systems become owned by a random
id like 0-24-036-303-630 and permissions being reset to read-only.

Any idea why?

My network is small enough that I can account for all users actions and I
know it's not a user that's resetting them. Also I can be certain that I do
not have a virus because this particular subnet is private and not on the
net.

Are there any utilities out there that I could use to forcibly reset
ownership and permissions just in case there is something going on with NTFS
that I can't see?

Oh!?!?! I'm also sharing these file systems via NFS.
