I tried this but I'm still having trouble. When I try to copy a file
into the drop box from another userid, I get an error that the file can't
be written because of an error of type -50. There IS a file created,
but it has zero length, and is owned by the originating user rather
than the owner of the drop box. The system log says
afpd[15957]: afp_openfork: ad_open: Permission denied

I'm using netatalk-1.4b2+asun-2.1.3 on freebsd 3.4-stable with the
netatalk and suiddir kernel options.

Thanks for any help!!
