title: Unix permissions from Windows
body: <p>I have a D-Link DNS-323 NAS, running some sort of Linux as its OS.
  I map a volume as a share in Windows Vista (Ultimate SP2). There are some directories and files on that share that I cannot change/delete - no matter what I try. Trying all of Windows security/permissions dialogs don't work, as the files owner is "Unix/root" and all other Windows users have read-only permissions.</p>
  
  <p>I managed to ssh into the OS and verified that these files belong to 'root' - the user under which I log in, and all the other files (the ones I can change) belong to 'nobody'.</p>
  
  <p>All fine and well, while I'm in ssh, I can always "chmod +w" the files, or "chown nobody". But my question is this: how can I make my Windows user (let's call him 'admin') impersonate 'root' on the Linux, so I can simply manipulate files from Windows, without resorting to ssh?</p>
  
  <p>In other words, and to make the whole question plainer: how do you tell your OS that a certain user on Windows is a certain user on linux? (that way, I can have 'admin' be 'root').</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance,
  Guy</p>
