Hello all,
Well I got netatalk up and running on a DecStation running Ultrix 4.3. Many
thanks to both Wes and Michael Purtell for point out my mistakes. Everything
seems to be working great.
The one question I have is related to file permissions on the Unix end.
More specifically, how do I control them? What I am trying to do is set up a
group of people that have access to their own stuff and access to a common f
folder (read and write). I went into the code for "afpd" and edited all the
permission field that I could find from 0600 to 0666 and 0700 to 0777. This
mostly worked. Except that program only writes files as 0644 and directories
as 0755. Is this a function of the umask setting? I also remember reading
that Chris Metcalf had a bunch of patches for "afpd" and I was wondering what
they did and where I could get them.
Thanks.
