Well, I have some good news after 30 minutes with a great OSX Server Support person at Apple. He basically replicated the problem on his end, acknowledging that A. I am not nuts, or a bad network administrator B. That it can be resolved.

I did not have ACL’s enabled for the two groups that I had set up to access Share A and Share B, which are two separate folders on the same RAID.
Group A has Access to [i]both[/i] Share A and Share B
Group B [i]only[/i] has access to Share B

I had POSIX Permission set up the following way:
[b]Share A[/b]
Owner: Admin – Read & Write
Group: Group A – Read & Write
Everyone: None

[b]Share B[/b]
Owner: Admin – Read & Write
Group: Group B – Read & Write
Everyone: Read & Write

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)

and set both shares to:
Owner: Admin – Read & Write
Group: Group staff Read Only
Everyone: Read Only
These are the standard default settings – it did not work. same problems with Leopard Clients, Read-only access now from Tiger Clients

I set the POSIX permissions back to what I had them above and it worked! i am not sure why, as ACL should override any POSIX behavior.
Leopard clients can now create folders and documents that the Tiger users can rename, save, edit and/or delete.

I hope this helps anyone who is ripping their hair out in clumps like I was before getting some help.

I was using index.html.
Since this is the only site hosted on the server, I had moved all the default files that are in /library/webserver/documents/ to new folder called “old” and put my new index page there. It is a simple HTML document with one image and one hyperlink.

After viewing your above posting, I decided to create a subfolder for the site within /library/webserver/documents/ instead of it just being at the root level and made sure the server points there and that “index.html” is the selected default.

I restarted the web service and it worked for about 5 minutes – meaning I was able to access the page (from outside of the network, on an entirely different subnet 75 miles away). After around 5 – 7 minutes, it stopped working again – meaning, it is looking for authentication again. Below are the logs since restarting the service:

I have since deleted the default Realm setting and restarted the service with no luck – it constantly asks for authentication after a few minutes… I am totally baffled.

Here is the server log – the problem is occuring right now:

IP addresses are internal, so I am not concerned about any intrusions
I am not sure what the 10.234.9.190 is… that is not the server address
