Read-Only on files when accessing from WIndows (OS X 10.6.8 shares)
Hi All,
i have searched vigorously for an answer on the forums. Here is the issue:
We have an OS X 10.6.8 Server hosting AFP / SMB shares.
We have a folder called "companydata" with 6 sub folders. I have given the ACL permissions ("companystaff" has read/write) to the root companydata folder and made sure the permissions propagated correctly. Both Windows and OS X computers function correctly. The issue seems to occur when a file is created from an OS X computer on any of the directories inside that shared folder.
When an OS X computer creates a new file, it is READ-ONLY for any user except the one who created the file (the owner). When i check the file info on OS X server, it does not seem to be inheriting permissions from the parent folder/root. It only seems to give permission to the owner of that file (read/write), staff (read-only) and everyone (read-only). Noticeably, i do not see the "companystaff" group that is added to the ACL of the root folder and propagated. Its very random.
Following some of the other discussion articles, i have tried creating a new folder, applying permissions, sharing it via SERVER ADMIN, and moving files into the folder. This does not seem to work. If i go into SERVER ADMIN and propagate the permissions, they get applied, but the problem is, everytime a new file is added i am back to square one.
Does anyone have any insight or direction to look into? Any suggestion would be appreciated.
THINGS TO NOTE
==============
This Server was on different hardware, everything was working fine. Upon moving the server to different hardware (no changes other than hardware - IMAC to Mac Mini) the issue began occuring. I ran a permission repair after moving it just in case that may prevent issues but other than that, not sure what could have caused this.
Mac mini, OS X Server, OS X Server 10.6.8
