    Hi,

    I’ve tried many things without success. How does one turn on inherited permissions? Apple’s support and marketing material says it’s possible but I haven’t found a way to do it.

    I have a 10.6.4 Server with a USB RAID being shared over AFP. I setup an ACL so that staff (as I’m not using OD) can read/write files. The ACL comes up as not inherited. I set inheritance at the CLI with chmod +a.

    I made sure “Ignore permissions” isn’t checked in Finder, and tested the same situation with a local volume to make sure it wasn’t related to the external volume. It’s formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I tried creating folders directly in Finder on the sharepoint, and I tried dragging files to the sharepoint. I tried with 10.5.8 and 10.6.4 clients without success. I tried creating another group to make sure it’s not related to some special condition with the staff group.

    Please help!

    Wow! I need to do the same exact thing. Have you had any luck yet? I am just starting to look into how to do it. I have a feeling it will need to be done from the command line because the GUI doesn’t appear to support this requirement. Please respond to this thread if you find a solution. I will respond if I find something. Thanks.
