Next message: Brian Durant: "Re(3): [WinMac] Mac floppies + more on IBM Aptiva."
Well I may not have understood the two different Permissions but from
what I've experimented with this afternoon I can tell you that the
Macintosh clients are handled differently. I don't know what MS has
done but they don't treat the Mac client the same and my book doesn't
even mention SFM so it's of no help. Anyone want an NT book cheap!
If I gave the least of access privileges to the Art disk using only Read
on the Share permission and List on the Security permission, the Mac
client had full access to the entire volume. I think that this may be
why it is suggested to not do sharing at the root level of a drive.
I then went through every folder at the root level of Art and marked it
No Access for the Print Shop group except for their own folder which I
set to Change permission. That worked!
I then logged in from a Macintosh as a Print Shop member and all of the
folders had little buckles over the folder icon and I was not able to
open them. They were locked down good! I could still read, write and
delete from the Print Shop folder that I hadn't set with No Access. So
I had some success.
But...every new folder created in Art was accessible by the Print Shop
group unless the No Access permission was applied to it. I think this
is because every new folder inherited it's permissions from the root dir
which was Read & List. I doubt I could keep a bunch of artists from
creating new folders at the root level. It'd be like herding cats!
Don't get me wrong. I like cats and I like Macs. I'm typing on one
right now.
Plan B:
I then tried to share the Print Shop folder from within Art. The share
worked fine from the PC but to make it show up on the Mac you have to
create a Macintosh Volume. It wouldn't let me do that because the root
was already a Macintosh volume. Apparently you can't have Mac volume
within a Mac volume. Strike two!
Plan C:
I'm either going to have to reorganize the entire directory structure
and shares or find some unused disk space and create yet another logical
drive! If so, that will have to wait until Monday!
Thank you everyone for your help! I'm going to go home now.
