    We have a Win2000 server serving Mac and NT 4.0 clients. We have lots of
    researchers storing images on our server and connecting remotely to it.
    Recently we got bit by the LOVEBUG from one of those remote connections.
    We've locked down the server so that only the owner/creator of the file has
    rights to change it. Before everyone had rights. The problem is that now
    none of the Macs can save to the server. We've had to create a separate
    partition with the old permissions for Mac users. Does anyone know why this
    might happen? Any suggestions or are we stuck with this solution? Seems to
    me that changing the permissions shouldn't cause such a sudden problem.
