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
