Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger) connecting to Panther Server

[RustyCowboy]

I have recently setup a couple of new 10.4.5 systems on a file server running 10.3.9 Server. I am getting permission issues with these users not able to access files and folders even thought they have full access. I resolved the issue by switching from AFP to SMB but the users complain of decrease transfer speeds.

Any ideas.

Well, remember, in each sharing type, per share, you can set the default permission set. Check to see if your using the same exact logic on both SMB and AFP sharing in Workgroup Manager, under sharing.

There was a permissions 'correction' in the 10.4.6 update which caused similar issues. You sure it's a 10.4.5 system?

In the case of the 10.4.6, one of the main culprits were old OS9 security locks on files and folders. To correct this, there were a couple quick and dirty fixes:

1. Make new folders and copy the files over. Rename the folders to match the locked files.
2. Pull up the folder on an OS9 machine, get info and uncheck the 'Lock' option.

I did this on a number of folders after the 10.4.6 upgrade and it did the job.

If this is completely not helpful, I apologize

I have run into a similar problem a long time ago and it was cause by a mismatch in permission bits, which os x could not handle. I made a simple program to solve this problem (quick and dirty). If the issue is a mismatch of permission bits (like write disabled, but rename and/or delete allowed), the program can handle this for you. You could also use the terminal for this.

Good luck, Kees
