O.K. I have gotten in a bit deep here. What I essentailly want to do is allow a Mac (OS 9) user to access a legacy MS-DOS file system to manipulate some files. I am most of the way there. I have the old msdos hard drive in a FreeBSD 3.5-Stable box, the filesystem correctly mounts at boot time, and the Mac user can see the files system via netatalk. The old hard drive has been mounted on /mnt/dosc, and the entire file system is owned by the macuser. The problem is, though the macuser can login to the account via netatalk, and browse the filesystem in question, s/he can't copy any of the files to the local Apple hard drive, or manipulate any of the files. The Mac system complains that any given file "is already in use" and thus can't be manipulated. Anybody run into this before? Is there something I can do on the FreeBSD side to rectify things? The macuser can copy/modify things normaly in his/her home directory, which has the same permissions as the mounted file system. The UFS behaves as expected. Likewise I have no problems on the FreeBSD machine copying or moving things around, as the macuser.
