Duplicate GUIDs
Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer
Reader Rating 
Q:
I have a user who I am trying to assign rights to for a directory on a server. I browse to the directory folder, select Add Trustee, then select the proper object and click OK. I get no errors or warnings, yet when I go back to view the trustees, a totally different user has been assigned rights! The problem does NOT happen on TFS volumes but happens on NSS volumes.
A:
If it's NSS, it sounds like you have two objects with the same GUID. NSS uses the GUID, not the object id, to store in the file system for trustee rights. Do a
Knowledgebase search for "duplicate guid" - one result is:
