the picture grows muddier yet...
If i remove all semblances of security, and load only uams_guest.so, and get
everyone to connect as guest, then 1 of the users can use the network trash,
and all of them appear to be saving ok / using quark ok...
the latest configure/build was:
#
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/netatalk --mandir=/usr/local/man --sysconfd
ir=/etc/netatalk --w
ith-config-dir=/etc/netatalk --with-pam --with-shadow --with-ssl-dir=/usr/lo
cal/openssl --enable-t
imelord --enable-lastdid --enable-tcp-wrappers --with-flock-locks
I added --enable-lastdid, --enable-tcp-wrappers, and --with-flock-locks
arrghhhh.... rapidly getting less happy.
Don't penguins eat apples? Maybe if apples looked more like fish... no, that
thought's goin' nowhere. Time to go home.
Users who can't "trash" get a "you can't store this in the trash folder,
delete immediately" message which they can ok/cancel.
As far as I can see, there's no difference between users/macs, so why the
disparity in behaviour? there are no messages about any of this in
/var/log/messages. All mac users have the same version of tcp/ip, open
transport, appletalk (2.7.4). all users are logged in as guest.
arggh!

Subject: RE: chown, DID & pam...
: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
