Re: OS 9 clients can't delete files/folders

Okay, after working with things a little longer, I've finally figured out
what the trick is.

As root in the Terminal:
1. Navigate to the share directory
# cd /Homes/students/1st\ Grade\ Students
2. I removed the Network Trash Folders from the root level of each of my
shares
# rm -rf Network\ Trash\ Folder
3. I recreated the Network Trash Folder
# mkdir Network\ Trash\ Folder
4. I changed the group ownership of the newly created Network Trash Folder
to the match the group of the share
# chgrp ehgrade1 Network\ Trash\ Folder
5. I changed the permissions so that the group has no permissions
whatsoever to the Network Trash Folder. Don't ask me why they can have no
permissions, but it works.
# chmod 707 Network\ Trash\ Folder
6. Repeat for each share

This causes the user to have to delete the file immediately. It may not
be the desired method, but it works for me and for my users.

One recommendation I received was to delete the share and the data inside
it and recreate it. I decided that idea would make too much work for me
as I'd have to move the data back into the share, so I made the above
attempt and it worked.

Hopefully this helps others.
