Another problem I found,
Let's say you have 2 directories on atalk server. One is Bill, and the
other is Gates. "Bill" has 770 (ug+rwx,o-rwx) permission, and "Gates" has
755 (a+rwx,go-w) permission. Now you copy some files from your local
computer to "Bill" directory. All the files you copy will have 660
(rw-rw----) permission on files and 770 on dirs. But now, you just decide
to move these files/folders in "Bill" to "Gates" because you hate Windoze.
You drag these files and directories from "Bill" to "Gates". "Gates" is a
share directory where you share your files to all real users. But guess
what, the files/directories you just move, all have the old permission,
which are 660/files and 770/dirs. Because this, no one is be able to read
your files unless they are in the same group where you belong to.
Is it suppose the way it should go? Or is it a bug that needs to be fixed?
Alex
