Well it still seems that there are problems with the permissions and ownership. I do not know how to fix that. It could be simple or as complicated as a bug in netatalk and the way it works with mount_msdos. If you have enough disk space, copy the files using FreeBSD to the users home directory that they connect into using netatalk. Once they are in that directory as ffs files, the macuser will certainly be able to do whatever with them they need to. Just make sure they are chown'd to the user first. Although, guess the reason you're asking is that you don't have the disk space or it isn't feasible to do the copy, and if so then I haven't been helpful at all. In that case, sorry, Tim On Tuesday January 23, 2001 17:51, Marius wrote: > O.K. > > I have gotten in a bit deep here.
