    Hello…

    I have a 10.4 server hosting some AFP shares. Clients connect from a variety of 10.4 and 10.5 flavors. Many of our users experience that the finder will suddenly say they have no permission to access the shares.

    Using the terminal however, everything is fine. Permissions are reported as they should be.

    Remounting the shares restores correct permissions in the finder.

    The serverlog reports nothing.

    Changing permissions on the share to 777 for all files and folders does not solve the problem.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Tobias

    Just to confirm, I’ve had the same problem a few times but not that frequently

    Hello….

    Good to know I’m not the only one here with the problem.

    There is a VERY long thread on the subject here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3044100&#3044100

    Topic of the subject is “Folders losing permissions for brief period”

    I have tried the following on the server today:
    Change expire values in /etc/memberd.conf
    Increase number of availbale threads to AFP

    Both changes are described in the thread in my link above.

    I’ll report back.
