Tim,
From my experience a few weeks ago it appears that WinNT does not treat
PC users the same as Mac users. I was just trying to give full
permission to a folder on a shared network disk but couldn't unless they
had full access to the disk first. It seemed to be an all or nothing
scenario for the Mac users. I could have selected every other folder on
that shared disk and marked it no access but that's crazy! I finally
ended up just creating a new shared disk. I never had this kind of
problem with Novell. There, PCs and Macs were treated the same and had
I wanted to give permission to just one folder on a network disk I could have.
We are sharing the root level of the network disk for both Macs and PCs.
I've heard that's not a good idea but from my experience two weeks ago
I can't see where it would have made any difference. Dan did not chime
in at that time so I was not privy to his wealth of knowledge of Macs on
a WinNT Server.
