I’ll give that or some variant a shot but in my case I was already using ACL’s AND just as you the ACL’s did not take precedence (as the tip in the GUI states). I would much rather use ACL’s throughout.

One thing is confusing me however with your post:
>He told me to put Group A on The Access Control List:
>Group A / Allow / Full control
>Group B / Allow / Full control (add Group B to Group A list)
Did you add GroupB as a member of GroupA? This seems to defeat the purpose of having two groups, one that you may want to have restrictive access.

Also, What is “Group: Group staff Read Only”. I’ve not seen this.

Thx

I’m saving the same problem at my company. Our environment is identical save subbing the Leopard clients with a hand full of XP Pros. Our probs actually started back in Dec (maybe Nov?) ’07. More recently we began to loose files and hardware was suspected. We’ve since purchased a brand new Xserve and installed Leopard Server. That was actually started by a co-worker at the beginning of last week and I picked up the project this week. There were failed service issues between us both and I experienced file access issue (complete with nasty error messages) where I shouldn’t have. Every call to AppleCare resulted in a suggestion of a reboot which of course fixes things for 20 minutes up to 24 hrs. Not acceptable even for a test server, which this is NOT.

We decided today to downgrade to Tiger Server. That went mostly fine and we even have it joined to Microsoft Active Directory. Everything seems fine except for file ownership and permissions not propagating or being inherited properly. We would like our setup to have new folders/files inherit the exact same permissions/access as the parent folder.

I’ll be giving AppleCare another call in the morning. I’ve already spent all day getting this far. Surprisingly I’m not tired but I’ve leaving before frustration gets the best of me.

Sorry for all the unessary talk, just clearing my head I guess…

I’ll post back after AppleCare convo. Hopefully they’ll have something helpful.
