I'm having some problems connecting to a public folder on a Linux-based NFS server.
The export on the server side is this (the uid an gid correspond to valid local user/group joe/users)
/home/joe/public <mac ip address>(rw,sync,insecure,all_squash,anonuid=1049, anongid=500)
And the permissions on /home/joe/public are "drwxr-xr-x joe users"
On the client side running 10.3.7 I can connect to the server without a problem using the finder (nfs://<server IP address>/home/joe/public). But when I try to copy anything to it (and for each single item) the following dialogue box pops up:
"The item "XXXX" could not be moved because "public" cannot be modified."
It then gives me the option to "Authenticate", in which case the item gets copied, or "OK", in which case the copy fails. I also can't delete items from this public folder due to insufficient permissions.
However, if I use terminal.app (or other Linux/BSD clients), I can copy/move/modify the contents of the public folder as would be expected, which leads me to believe this problem (feature?) is related to the Finder only.
Setting the permissions of the public folder on the server side to world-writable solves the problem, but this is something I wanted to avoid, plus all the files in there should not have the uid/gid of the connecting client (thus all_squash).
Any ideas on what's causing this Finder behavior?
