Folders do not close on server

[Monty]

On our Panther server (10.3.4) with mixed OS9 and OSX clients, folders do not stay closed when closed by the admin, user or owner of the folder.

This server was an upgrade from OS 9 computers with file sharing turned on (very bad, i know). So all the files were all copied to the new drives. The drive in question is two 120GB drives mirrored RAID.

I remember in ASIP, the admin could go on the server and close a folder and that is how the clients would see the folders when they mounted the server and opened a window. I have gone in as admin, user and owner to no avail.

This applies to list view and to which views that windows are set at, also.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

yep, same thing here… the sad thing is that you need to track down who set them that way. it’s most likely an admin… i don’t think that a user can do it even if they own the folder, but i don’t know. we have the same problem here but with only six admins it doesn’t take me long to find the culprit… once that particular admin user logged in to the box and collapsed the folders it was fine.
