Ok, I think I have seen this mentioned before, but thought I would bring it up again..
10.4.11 server (but this goes way back) over AFP, I have a volume shared...called Images.
On that share, I have a folder called packages and in that folder I have all my packages.
In the past, in order to make packages Double clickable to install from the network share, I had to add READ to EVERYONE. Now in 10.4 that works, in 10.5 the behaviour is different. In 10.5 you get that same message regardless.
Does anyone know of a proper configuration that allows you to double click on a package, on a network volume (set as read only) that will allow you to install the package directly, that works from 10.4 AND 10.5?
Should I switch from POSIX permissions to an ACL combination maybe?
As long as it works from command line, all my imaging scripts work so I am not totally dead, it is just an inconvenience that when you want to install a few hundred meg package, to have to download it first.
