On our network users use “drop boxes” to pass some files along. So we have User 1 and User 2. User 2 has write only permission to User 1’s drop box and vice versa. The sharepoint is set to inherit permissions from the parent. Now when User 2 is on an OS X system and drops a file into the drop box of User 1, the permissions are set so that the owner of the drop box now owns the file and the group has r/w access. When User 2 drops a file into the drop box of User 1 from a Windows (9x or XP) system, the file still has User 2 as the owner and group permissions are write only. So, User 1 can not read the file. I’ve manually checked the smb.conf file and it is set to inherit permissions. Anyone know what is going on?
