Subject: Strange permission (denied) problem
From: Ove Ruben R Olsen (ruben@bdc.no)
Date: Sun Mar 19 2000 - 17:39:06 EST
Environment:
Version netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.3
OS: RedHat 6.2
Permission on users home-directory: 555
In the home-directory there are 2 sub-directories: "Private files" and
"Webfiles".
If one of the users try to drag a local directory with contents (files of
other
directories) into "Private files" or "Webfiles" they receive an error
"Can not write to Webfiles due to insuffient rights" (translated from
norwegian MacOS). The funny thing is that the name of the local directory
is indeed created in the sub-directory on the server, but there are no
files tranferred into the new sub-directory.
Trying to create a new sub-directory inside "Webfiles" or "Private files"
produce the same kind of error.
Dragin files into one of these directories produces no errors.
These error happens regardless of version of MacOS.
These error happens regardless of if the users home-directory permissions
is set to 755 instead of 555.
Those two directories ("Webfiles" and "Private files") have 755 as modes
and are owned by the respective users.
/var/log/messages gives Mar 19 23:07:09 localhost afpd[1943]: afp_openfork:
ad_open: Permission denied
The reason for this setup is that we do not want users to create or copy
files directly
into their home-directory.
What kan be done to remedy this situation?
Regards,
\Ruben.
