[Netatalk-admins] Permissions how-to?

[Dale M. <IT...@sh...>]

I have looked (almost) everywhere for a definitive how-to that addresses
settings, permissions and otherwise, for .AppleDouble, .AppleDesktop,
Network Trash Folder, TheVolumeSettingsFolder, TheFindByContentFolder, etc.
Does such a document (or set of documents) exist? If so, where, please, may
it be found?

The man and info pages included with my SuSE distro do a great job of
describing setup configuration but do not directly address the problems I am
seeing. I have haunted (lurked and searched) the netatalk-devel list and
others for some time, and I have seen occasional references to
permissions-related problems with symptoms like mine, but the responses have
not led me to the resources I need to sufficiently educate myself.

As things are now some of these items work fine for some of my users and not
for others. Sometimes they are visible, sometimes not. Sometimes the trash
works normally, other times... you get the picture.

From what I have read regarding other folks problems along these lines, it
is probably mostly permissions issues, so I could possibly stumble onto a
configuration that works acceptably well, but I'd rather do it right by
direction from people who really know how this stuff works.

My ultimate goal is to to become expert enough to not only clean up my own
act, but help others with the same problems.

And, BTW, TIA <G>
