what version of gnome? sorry if it was in your mail and i missed it. for purposes of debugging, you can set the acl on the .Trash directory to systema:anyuser read and see if that makes a difference. also, you can turn debugging up in /etc/syslog.conf and see if anything gets logged when you "delete" something using the gui (ie, put something into the .Trash directory). the thing is, when the user "opens the trashcan from the gui", is that process running as the user, or as something else? those are the things i would check. good luck.

Quoting Franco Milicchio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Hello everyone,

I'm still facing a weird problem with Gnome and OpenAFS. When
interacting with the GUI and deleting some items, gnome puts them in a
.Trash directory:

milicchio:milicchio$ ls -lad .Trash
drwx------  3 milicchio diaafs 4096 Jul 14 09:13 .Trash/

Unfortunately this directory is shown *always* empty when opening the
trashcan from the Gnome GUI, even if it contains files and directories,
and of course has the right ACLs inherited by the container volume:

milicchio:milicchio$ ls -la .Trash
total 13
drwx------   3 milicchio diaafs 4096 Jul 14 09:13 ./
drwxrwxrwx  59 milicchio diaafs 6144 Jul 14 09:22 ../
drwxr-xr-x   2 milicchio diaafs 2048 Jul  3 11:36 simple_extension/
-rw-r--r--   1 milicchio diaafs  873 Jul  3 11:30 simple_extension.tar.gz

milicchio:milicchio$ fs la .Trash
Access list for .Trash is
Normal rights:
  system:backup rl
  system:administrators rlidwka
  system:anyuser l
  milicchio rlidwka


This bug seems to affect all gnome systems (any distribution) with
users under AFS, since local users in /home do not experience any
trouble and find their deleted files in the trash.

Is anyone aware of any workaround? Users keep filling up immediately
their quotas...


PS. Removing gnome is not a workaround :)
