Hi

Can anyone help me with a pointer to a document or a short desciption of
- the exact mapping of access privileges on a Mac vs those on Unix (Linux)
and vice versa?
- the inheritance of access privileges when copying files and folders to a
shared disk.
- the inheritance of ownership of those files.

One of the things I'd like to have is a 'drop box' where a file can be
copied to, and where the owner of the drop box can pick it up.
But a complete overview would be great to set up the right privileges for a
shared network disk.

Thanx!

- Stan
