RE: [Netatalk-devel] Possible to hack for this?

For example, say if I have a layout like this...

  /home/share1 - sharing via netatalk
                 root root   rwxr-xr-x
    /project1    root root   rwxr-xr-x
      /private   root group1 rwxrwx---
      /public    root group1 rwxrwxr-x
    /project2    root root   rwxr-xr-x
      /private   root group2 rwxrwx---
      /public    root group2 rwxrwxr-x

I want everyone who can logon to that share to have write access on
every .AppleDouble and /home/share1/.AppleDesktop so resource folks can
be stored.  With current version of netatalk, it can not write to
.AppleDesktop directory because it violates directory permission I
setup.  Without appropriate/specific resource folks in .AppleDesktop, my
users are having problems to open files and do some auctions...

I tried to make .AppleDouble and .AppleDesktop to (chmod 777), but it
does not help.  So netatalk is checking against parent folder
permission...

I think both .AppleDouble & .AppleDesktop can bypass UNIX's directory
security as an option.
