    Is there any problem with Leopard and having home directories served from a Windows 2003 Server? I have several Tiger systems that work fine with this, but there’s something not right with Leopard.

    I’m the first user here to use Leopard (test deployment as it were). We have a OS X Server pushing a policy to create mobile accounts from the users home directory on the 2003 Server. When I first logged into the Leopard desktop, it created the mobile account and after some fighting did get the home directory syncing. Now here’s where the problem is. The ACL’s on all my files are messed up. They look like this:

    You have custom access
    everyone: Custom
    Me: Read and Write
    Group: Read Only
    everyone: read only

    It’s that ‘everyone:custom’ thats the problem. With it, I get asked for my password every time I want to do something with it and the file will not sync back to the server. If I remove it, things work as they should.

    So, is there some problem having home directories on Windows servers Do they not store the ACL’s correctly?

    Also is there some way to mass reset ACL’s on files that doesn’t include booting off the Install disk? Login’s take damn near forever on Leopard so I try to avoid it where I can.
