I am using OS 9.2 as our workstations, when I mount a volume from the server it does not remember the display setting when I close then remount the volume (such as view by date, etc.)
This has worked before and i think something is corrupt, I went through workgroup manager and reset privlages etc but to no avail.
Under MacOS 9, window settings are saved in the invisible Desktop DB and Desktop DF files at the volume root, i believe. Under MacOS X, it's stored in invisible .DS_Store files in
each folder. For remote volumes, i would think the data is stored locally (rather than on the server), but i really don't know. If so, then the problem is
not on your server, but on the workstation(s).
If not, if the data isn't saved locally, then the problem might be that the workstations don't have write access to the appropriate file for that version of the OS. In this case, your MacOS 9 workstations would need to be able to write to the root of your server, which is not a good idea, from a security point of view. Of course, if you're just sharing a folder and not the whole HD, which is probably the case, then the “root” from the workstation perspective is not the same as it is from the server perspective. Do the workstations have write access to the server? If not, that could explain it.
So i have to ask: Why so
bleu?
