Recently set up a file server that services Mac, Windows & SGI clients. (Using Netatalk, Samba and NFS - respectively) Using FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE, netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.3_1, Samba-2.0.7 Just about everything works great. Everyone is sharing one big volume where they can put their various project files. The problem is this: If someone creates a directory on either the NT or SGI machines, the Macs can't delete it. That's it, every other imaginable combination of file operations works fine. It appears that Netatalk creates dotfiles for each directory it accesses. But for some reason, if the directory was created thru Samba or UN*X, Netatalk can't delete these dotfiles, therefore the directory isn't empty and can't be deleted. All users, whether Netatalk, samba or NFS are mapped to "nobody" and although permissions differ, perms for user "nobody" on any file/directory are rwx - and all files/directories belong to "nobody". Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround? Should I be posting on the Netatalk mailing list? Who's idea was it to put 13 in a baker's dozen? Do I ask too many questions? -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
