Re: [Netatalk-devel] Wrong permissions on __db* files

[Daniel H. <da...@hi...>]

Here is some more specific information.  The file server, Nori, has two
generally used shares.  One called "Public" and the other "Service Media".
In Service Media the __db* files are created thus:
-rw-rw-rw-    1 daniel   daniel       8192 Feb 24 11:25 __db.001
-rw-rw-rw-    1 daniel   daniel     270336 Feb 24 11:25 __db.002
-rw-rw-rw-    1 daniel   daniel     344064 Feb 24 11:25 __db.003

Notice the permissions are correct to permit others to write to the files.

On the Public volume, the __db* files are creataed thus:
-rw-r--r--    1 nobody   nobody       8192 Mar 20 15:49 __db.001
-rw-r--r--    1 nobody   nobody     270336 Mar 20 15:49 __db.002
-rw-r--r--    1 nobody   nobody     344064 Mar 20 15:49 __db.003

This causes a problem.  If I am the first to log in then only I can access
the files.  If another user logs in as guest first then I cannot access the
files.

My afpd is as follows:
/data/atalk/servicemedia "Service Media on Nori"
allow:daniel,greg,jake,joel,nobody,tony,wendy rolist:nobody

/data/atalk/public "Public on Nori"

(The first item is all on one line)

Any ideas why this is happening?
