We have found that this (Mac OS 10.4.2) not only causes problems
with Office and Word, but Appleworks as well.
Our students are getting a message about the "disk is full" or
something very similar when trying to save Appleworks files. One of
the fixes was supposedly going to version 6.2.9, (which we already
were at) but we still had the same problem. The permissions on the
tmp folder did not change this behaviour with Appleworks for us, so
as we were experiencing problems with Word also, we downgraded the
server back to 10.4.1. I will need to confirm that the downgrade
worked, as far as no longer having problems with Office and
Appleworks, but as 10.4.2 made some significant changes that John
Welch has already referred to, I expect the downgrade to work. As
always,ymmv.
This is all getting very confusing. As I think I reported yesterday,
this general issue we have seen since way before 10.4.2 came along,
but with AFP mounts of Sun UNIX space using NetaTalk.
About two months ago, before I created my first 10.4.x image, we
changed to using Samba mounts of the Sun servers and the problem went
away. We have recently test installed 8 x 15" LCD iMacs with a 10.4.2
image using SMB mounts and the problem still no longer exists for us.
