Subject: Mac OS X Server client permissions followup
Mac OS 10.2 clients of OS X Server set any file they write to as "read only" for all other server clients. * There is lots of discussion about this bug on the Apple discussion forums, and apparently Apple has "escalated" this problem with its engineers. * But meanwhile this bug has rendered our Xserve useless, as it has for many other users of Mac OS Server.
All Byron Sharp or anyone else with this problem has to do is setup a cron job to run every 5 minutes that sets the permissions the way they want. I set this up an my OS X Server right after I deployed it. My cron jobs set various permissions on various shares. The shareware utility Cronix makes it very easy. Hopefully anyone who administers an OS X server knows enough command line to set permissions. If not try "chmod -R 777" or man chmod.
