I have searched far and wide and cannot seem to come up with a reasonable solution...need help fast!
We are running a Leopard Server (10.5.5) and when a user creates a file in one of the shares, it assigns the following permissions:
*Note The server is tied to Active Directory (Windows 2003) and all clients are Leopard 10.5.5
1 - Owner - Read/write
2 - Everyone else - Read Only!
The problem is that we need all users to be able to edit these files. It is not feasible to use apple's workaround of making the owner add others to the file, our users create upwards of 1500 files a day.
What I need is a way to propage permissions so that everyone has write access.
Currently I've tried the following
1. I have both AFP and SMB setup on the "Art" share.
2. I've set an acl ("art_users" - full control) to apply to all files and folders.
a. This sets correctly but since posix permissions are combined with ACL's this still results in a read only for all other users except the owner.
3. I tried turning on SMB for the art share since SMB has an option to force "inherit permissions from parent".
a. This is strange, when I creat a file on the "Art" share from a PC, all of the permissions inherit correctly and everyone has read/write access to the file. HOWEVER, if I connect to the share via smb on a mac client and create the file, it still sets the problem permissions (owner - r/w, everyone else - read only)
There has got to be a way to get around this, please help!!!!!!!!!
