Fellow Macheads-

I'm having permissions troubles.

I work in a studio with 5 macs and a mac server. We are running 10.3.3 and the server is running server 10.1.3.

The problem is this: whenever somebody opens a file from the server, works on it, then saves it, the group permissions get changed to "read only" and the owner gets changed to whoever just worked on it, even if they didn't create it. If I go into "get info" and change them to "read&write" the changes do not stick. If I go back into "get info" it will be set back to "read only"

Where can I fix this?

I've done chmod and it works, but only if I change the owner to the admin acct. But then as soon as somebody opens up & saves the file, it goes right back to group read only and changes the owner.

Eeeeeep!

Thanks for your help!

Todd

hmmm, this behaviour is definitely not correct... maybe this is a bug in 10.1? did you try to update the server with 10.3 and see if it helps? how do you access to the networked drives ? AFP? SMB?
