Subject: [netatalk-admins] Read-Only mounting and User Forcing (patch suggestion(?))

I know it isn't possible to mount a share read-only (like in nfs, or
smb), or to force privilages of a specific user, when another user is
connected (even if you are connected as user <mrx>, your privilages will
be those of <anotheruser> when connecting to a specific share).
The former should not be too hard to do, the latter, is a little risky,
so will only be allowed to be used in global AppleVolumes files, and not
in user-specific files.
Does anyone who knows the source-code parts of file-privilages, have an
idea of which is easier to do (probably the first), or how to do it
(what to change in the source)?
I suggest that another optional field will be added to the AppleVolumes
files, replacing (quote from man page):
pathname [ volumename ]
.extension [ type [ creator ] ]
with:
pathname [ volumename ] [ ro ]
.extension [ type [ creator ] ]
Any ideas on how to do that? (I know c, although I really do not know
the source code, and appletalk).
Bye,
Yannai.
