Re: [Netatalk-admins] afpd and where do I specify the -m umask flag

[HAT <ha...@fa...>]

Hi,

I found perm option in the source code on April 4, 2010.
I added the comment in AppleVolumes.defaut because there was
no explanation at all.

See,
http://netatalk.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=netatalk/netatalk;a=commitdiff;h=012599ff713dec84f9fff4678dcb13fe26c6e8f5;hp=6c2007a4a07871ee930d09ca8542f11e6db18804

I don't know when perm option was added.
This option might be effective on netatalk 2.0.5.

If you don't use upriv option, umask option will work effectively.

Ex:
:DEFAULT: options:usedots umask:077
