I'm at a loss to expliain this. I have 800 users on a 10.3 server using Open Direcotry. The 10.3.4 clients authenticate using a modified Open Directory connection that maps the group and home dir to a static value.
Authentication to the clients works fine. Authentication to the server works fine. But when the same users is authenticated to the client and server, group permissions don't really work on the server. The user can still write to the user directory they own, but not to folders unless everyone is given write access.
What's really weird is a drop boxes show up as drop boxes, but when a user starts to copy to it... they get the normal "you will not be able to see what is in this dropbox", but then the copy fails. When their logged into the client as a different user, the drop box works fine.
I'll post more details later, but if anyone has seen this before... PLEASE HELP!?!
