I noticed something interesting... I have a directory on my server that I shared out through the AppleVolumes.default file. This directory is owned by root, group ownership is cdlstaff. Permissions for the directory are 775 - read/write for both owner and group, read-only for others. Authenticated users coming in with a GID other than cdlstaff can still write files to this directory thorough netatalk: # ls -l /var/data total 1 drwxrwxr-x 4 root cdlstaff 1024 Jul 2 09:40 public # ls -l /var/data/public total 75 -rw-rw-r-- 1 kweiss users 57314 Jun 5 13:22 deck -rw-rw-r-- 1 kweiss users 16896 Jun 5 13:20 deck estimate -rw-r--r-- 1 kweiss cdlstaff 0 Jul 2 09:28 foo See? Even though the permissions on the directory shouldn't permit it (and don't permit it from the Linux command line), Netatalk is creating files there with group ownership of 'users.' How come? I'm running netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.3 on a freshly minted RedHat 6.0 system (Linux myhost.domain 2.2.5-15smp #1 SMP Mon Apr 19 22:43:28 EDT 1999 i686 unknown). --Ken ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ken Weiss [EMAIL PROTECTED] California Digital Library Technologies (510) 710-3356 (voice) UC Office of the President (510) 763-2471 (fax) 1111 Franklin Street #7313B [EMAIL PROTECTED] (text page) Oakland, CA 94607-5200 http://dcas.ucdavis.edu/kenhome.html
