Re: URGENT: File Permissions Gone on OS X SharePoint



<flame-mode-on>

This is urgent? To whom?

Why is your problem more important than anyone else's? Are you somehow special? Or are you just rude and selfish?

If it's really urgent and important, then don't post here, call your support channels. This is a forum, not support. There's no urgency here.

Impossible, as permissions exist at the filesystem level. The only way there'd be no permissions (or ownership) would be you had a foreign filesystem w/o any permissions.


Perhaps in your "urgency" you forgot to check to see what permissions or ownership might currently exist with a simple `ls`?? Perhaps these might even be helpful to us?

My users can browse the contents of the files, but when they try to open a file, it says that the file is encrypted or not accessible.

Have you repaired your filesystem lately?

What does `ls` from the console say?

What owner/group combination can I change the directory to (and all its children) so that my users can access the files on this sharepoint?

Completely dependent on your policy choices.

Have you taken a look at your backup file permissions and ownerships to see what they were previously? Or were you too caught up with the urgency of trying to ask us?
