I cannot for the life of me figure out why this is happening. Here's the scenario: One server, a G4 running OS X 10.3. It has an external RAID array that stores all our stuff hooked up to it and mounted, in addition to its own hard drive and 4 FireWire drives we use for Retrospect backups. We have my (I'm not proud of it) PC, 3 G5's and a handful of G4's all using this RAID as an office storage drive.
For whatever reason, the permissions are screwed up. There's a bunch of share points correctly setup in the workgroup admin on the server. We have two workgroups..employees and freelance, and everything's setup accordingly. However, when someone creates (or modifies) say..an illustrator file, and then someone else wants to open it (after it's closed on the original machine), someone has to go back to the server, "Get Info" on the files, and set the permissions from Employees-Read Only to Read and Write. In general, if someone accesses a folder and opens a file, and someone else accesses that same folder and wants to drop another file into it (even a totally different one), the second user will not have permission and will have to get up, go back to the server, and reset permissions for that folder. I've found also that using the "apply to contents of this folder" button doesn't apply to subfolders or their contents..only the immediate contents.
Apple is smarter than this, and I know there's a way to fix it but I have no idea where to start. Any ideas??
Thanks!
