Does anybody else have this problem.

Running 1.3.3 on Linux 1.2.8

Directory with privileges

        drwxrwx-wx

A user logging in as a guest can read and copy the contents of this directory.

The icon shows as a normal folder whereas I would expect to see a
dropfolder icon. The dropfolder icon only shows if you change to o-x, then
you cannot write to the directory at all which defeats the object.

Trying to save a file to this directory fails but copying a file is ok..

Directory with privileges

        drwxrwxr-x

A user logging in as a guest can make a new folder or an alias in this
window even though it is showing the crossed pencil in the status bar.
Trying to drag a file to this window fails as does trying to save a file.

If the guest then tries to delete the folder or alias it fails because they
cannot make changes.

Now either I've setup Netatalk wrong or there are some serious bugs here.

A quick reply would be nice as I plan to move everything to a Sparc (SunOs
4.1.3) next week and keeping Netatalk would be nice otherwise I shall have
to install CAP.
