I believe that all the contents inside the trash folder need to be the same too.

Try
sudo chown -R admin Network\ trash\ folder
sudo chgrp -R nobody Network\ trash\ folder
sudo chmod -R 707

Now if I could only figure out how to recursively script that for all network trash folders on my raid, I'd be happy.

HTH,
Stu

No matter what I do, the OS 9 clients CAN'T empty the trash if the trash
contains folders. Files are easy to delete from OS 9, but not folders.


The permissions on the Network Trash Folder are fine for me, it's the
sub-folders INSIDE that have the wrong permissions:

Permissions for "Network Trash Folder":


drwxrwxrwx 13 admin staff 442 May 9 08:17 Network Trash Folder




Permissions for the CONTENTS of "Network Trash Folder":


[server:raid1/graphics/network trash folder] admin% ls -l
total 0
drwx------ 2 aseat nobody 68 May 9 08:17 Trash Can #10
drwx------ 2 PStewart nobody 68 May 9 07:58 Trash Can #2
drwx------ 2 ASisson nobody 68 May 9 08:04 Trash Can #3
drwx------ 2 BFrazier nobody 68 May 9 08:07 Trash Can #4
drwx------ 2 MStaus nobody 68 May 9 08:10 Trash Can #5
drwx------ 2 SGoldenb nobody 68 May 9 08:11 Trash Can #6
drwx------ 2 DHilton nobody 68 May 9 08:12 Trash Can #7
drwx------ 2 AFulton nobody 68 May 9 08:14 Trash Can #8
drwx------ 3 DStranat nobody 102 May 9 08:16 Trash Can #9
-rw-rw-rw- 1 PStewart staff 0 May 9 07:58 Trash Can Usage Map

How can I fix this? Its freakin' everyone out!

I have tried using the CLI and the WGM for this problem. It's works for the
current stuff in the trash, but then when new files are added to the trash
then they can't be deleted. I keep having to go back and redo the
permisssions all day long. What makes it worse is that My server share is
almost full, so I am forcing users to clean off the share! Yikes! Double
edged sword indeed.

To answer my own bitching,

the permissions are:

707 admin/nobody

but the user has to log out and log back in for it to work properly.

Now why it wasn't set up properly, I have no idea. I just created them
through WGM. It is possible that because the network trash folders
already existed, from the ASIP upgrade, that it set up the perms just
like everything else?

Weird, and a bit of work to change all my shares.

Ok, I'm about to shoot this damn server. I put it into production
last weekend and it's only been problems since then. Now that my
bitching is out of the way, I am having a problem with users deleting
files &folders.

Server X10.2.5
Clients 9.1-9.22

When a client tries to delete files off the server, instead of telling
them they will be deleted immediately as it did with ASIP, it moves
the files/folders to their trash. At this point, the group becomes
unknown and they no longer have any access to the files/folders. When
they try to empty their trash, it tells them they don't have access
privileges. If they move them back onto the server, the group remains
unknown and they still have no access to them. All the users are in
the appropriate group.

I know it's a permissions issue with the Network Trash folder, but I
can't figure out what it should be. I have tried
777 with admin as owner
777 with root as owner
707 with root as owner
707 with admin as owner
700 with root as owner.
When root is owner and the users move their files to the trash, then
try to empty the trash, it tells them that their trash is empty, but
the files are still there.

Can someone please tell me what the proper permission for Network
trash should be? And maybe why they weren't set up properly when the
share points were created via WGM?

speaking of WGM, I was trying to change the owner/group perms on the
files in this share point, and it would only change the first half of
the 50 or so folders. The rest stayed root/unknown. Very annoying.
CLI is fine, but what's the point of a GUI tool that doesn't work.
Just more bitching during a very frustrating week.
