When I create a folder on my computer it has an owner, group, and everyone permissions. When I copy it to the server a group ACL is added to the folder’s permissions because a group ACL is assigned to the sharepoint and I am a member of that group. So far so good.
But when I copy that same folder back to my computer I get added a second time to the permissions list, and the new entry has custom privileges.
Then, if I copy the folder back to the server, a second group ACL and another entry for me (with custom privileges) are added to the permissions list.
If I then copy the folder back to my computer, I am added a third time to the permissions list (with custom privileges).
If I keep copying it back and forth, the number of duplicate entries in the permissions list rises, and it will eventually fail to copy.
I’ve looked all over the discussion groups and can’t find any solutions. Please help!
I am experiencing the same problem. Copy a file back and forth between AFP server shares a few times and eventually the copy fails because inherited permissions have been duplicated too many times.
Cross posting (for maximum viewing and hopefully action from Sys Admins) from the duplicate thread @
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12924897Actually it doesn’t even need to to be copied to/from the server, just try duplicating with Finder on the server! I’ve filed a big too since I was getting really nervous that 10.6.7 might not fix this, so I just filed mine #9160099 (an earlier poster referenced his bug #8816661, that 343,438 bug reports later!)
I got it down to the bare minumum on a clean OS X Server install, not AD bound or anything extraneous. Just AFP running on a server with an IP with forward reverse lookup. I made a share, added admin (501) to the ACL (as Read only), touched a file and duplicated it in Finder, locally on the server.
10.6-10.6.2 functioned fine. 10.6.3 and 10.6.4 added bizarre behavior where a WRITE ACE was added to the ACL, but the ACEs weren’t “stacking up”, 10.6.5 and 10.6.6 added the redundant ACEs that when you tried copying/duplicating packages and apps with Finder would result in insane amounts of duplication, try Chess.app you’ll get 18 ACEs deep in one Finder copy!
So get reporting folks, 10.6.7 might be the last Snow Leopard update, and even if it isn’t I’m getting pretty tired of dealing with this bug and don’t want to wait until 10.6.8!
Did a big write up and explanation of this bug:
