We run a RedHat 5.2 box here with netatalk 1.4b2+asun2.1.3 Trying to mount a /tmp volume as scratch space on the macs in the lab. Problem is, netatalk creates directories with gid bit set. We would like to utilize the sticky bit to keep users from stepping on each others' files. Netatalks insistence on setting GID means any user can muck with any other user's directories. Is this a bug? Enabling debugging reveals Mar 10 14:56:07 lsb afpd[19005]: setdirowner: chown -1/0 .AppleDouble/.Parent: Operation not permitted Not entirely sure if this is related to the problem. This error message comes out of unix.c (part of afpd) which sets all directory perms. Please help!
