Dear Friends,

Here�s the scenario, I work in a video lab where they use several firewire hard drives to make it easy for users to move easily between G5�s and iMac�s.

The lab manager wants folks to make a folder with their name on it on a given drive and save all their files there. She would like to know how to make these folders read only/or completely locked off from other users by default, so you could make a folder on a HD and not have to open the �Get Info� window to secure it.

What would we need to do to the drives (permissions, script, voodoo incantation) to make this the default behavior for any user?


NOTE: We�re on an network authenticating off of Active Directory/LDAP so the local users are being created on the fly�

Thank you in advance, I look forward to any help folks can offer.
Peace, Love, & Understanding,
