Thread-topic: Trouble with Shared disk permissions
User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/11.4.0.080122
I have been having some issues with ACL's and POSIX permissions on a shared
drive on my AFP server. At first I was using pure POSIX permissions and had
no issues with the shared drive, save the obvious limitations of using
POSIX, but after a discussion among our IT staff and some senior management
it was decided that we needed more strict control over who can delete files
and where they can be deleted.
After that discussion I started working on setting up an ACL scheme that
would work for us. I came up with 5 levels of users ranging from the
standard read only account at level 1 through god level accounts at level 5.
I immediately enabled ACL's on the shared drive and set up a basic shared
folder scheme to test the settings. Right off the start I started
encountering errors with ACL permissions being overridden by POSIX group
permissions. After reading of some errors that ACL's can encounter if
started on a shared drive, I decided to restart the computer and see if this
would fix the problem.
After the restart, I was still having issues with the ACL's permissions
being overridden by POSIX permissions, and at this point I decided that this
endeavor would best be tested not during normal work hours. I tried to
remove the ACL's from the shared drive by totally disabling them and putting
the POSIX permissions back to the default settings. Unfortunately the MAC
OS X gods decided that I had committed some grievous error in my ways and
decided to stop letting the computer that the drive was installed on write
to the disk.
Basically, if I take a file off the shared drive and drag it to the servers
desktop and then try to drag it back to the shared drive, it gives me an
error code -36. I have several folders set up with folder actions that are
set to covert .tif's to .pdf's using Adobe Acrobat, but now I have lost all
ability to do this.
I am also getting intermittent complaints from my users that they cannot
save to files already on the shared disk.
Thanks,
James
