I'd like to hear what your problems were with this.

Directories have two sets of permissions, one for the directory itself and
another for the files within them. I can see how RWXD on the directories
would be fine so what are they for the files?

We offer a file service to Faculty and Students called "Class
Submissions" that is used as a homework dropoff place. Faculty
create
folders for their classes and students put their work there. After
a
not-quite-completely disastrous experimental semester in which we
tried
a Linux/Samba/netatalk+asun solution, we're back to NT with SFM.
I'd like to hear what your problems were with this.
All Campus Computer Account holders fall into
one of two groups: Faculty
or Student. On each "dropbox" folder we have set the
following NTFS permissions:
OWNER/CREATOR: Full
FACULTY: RWXD
STUDENT: RWXD
Now looking at that you'd say, "That's stupid, Rom. That means
everyone
can do everything!" Well, I'd have thought so too, but here's
what
everyone actually CAN do: The owner of a file can modify or delete
it.
Everyone else can see it, but cannot open it, modify it, or delete
it.
I'm still scratching my head over this, but have verified that it
DOES
work on both Mac and PC sides.
Also note that I'm not at work as I write this, so I don't have
these
permissions right in front of me. I'll double check in the morning,
but
I'm pretty sure about this.

and another for the files within them. I can see how RWXD on the
