:o)
have worked out that fix already! unfortunately the "business process" isn't
(understandably) too keen on this. It also appears for Photoshop 5 docs, but
not for Dreamweaver, simple text, or plain-jane file copies... (the picture
grows murkier!)
Have been messing around with a 2nd box, and the problem doesn't appear if
if I only enable the uam uam_guest.so, and connect as a ghost to a the
share, where the share has 0777 permissions and is owned by nobody.nobody.
Obviously, this isn't an acceptable long term solution.
I'm using pam for authentication. Have copied appropriate pam files as per
documentation.
I'm also getting a lot of DID errors, will try --enable-lastdid tonight...
Quark 4.1
Netatalk 1.5pre6
Linux RH 7.1 kernel 2.4.0 with Appletalk support
Mac OS 9.xx
We could, of course offer to setup a netatalk box for Quark (it's free! Has
multi-platform support! get one today!) and I'm sure that Quark will work
out what's going on soon enough... <evil grin>
Cheers,
Chris

There are known problems between Quark and Netatalk (as well as some other
ASIP servers, not that it makes it any more acceptable). Quark has some
strange behavior during saving which conflicts with Netatalk. What versions
are you using of both? What version of Mac OS?
The workaround is to copy the Quark file to the client, work on it and save
it there, then copy it back when finished, until somebody figures out
exactly what silly thing Quark is doing and creates a fix for Netatalk.
