I’m trying to create a group folder in a new sharepoint following the instructions in Apple’s User Management doc. 😉
When I get to the terminal and try to execute CreateGroupFolder as the root user it tells me “ERROR – Group count on this server is 0. The tool cannot create group folders”
I have working groups and a seperate 250GB volume in the Xserve that is being used as a network home sharepoint on which I want to create these group folders. I have followed the instructions to the letter.
cheers
Yeah I tried making a folder, dropping it into the sharepoint that’s used for network homes and giving RW permissions to the staff group and read only to everyone. This way, the students can access the folder using Network browisng and read what the staff want them to see in there, and staff can add whatever they want. On a client machine with Server Admin tools installed I can browse to and drop the folder into the Dock preferences for the computer prefs. so everyone can access it from the dock.
Group Folders do work differently to how I thought. I managed to set the staff group folder (creating it in the sharepoint used for network homes) by entering the URL exactly and the name of the group in ‘Path’.
What purpose do the Library and Documents folders (in Group folders) serve ? All members of the staff group can write to the public area but only I, as owner, can work in the Library and Documents folder, but for what purpose I don’t know…
cheers
