Configuration error
Authored by: Anonymous on Apr 03, '01 09:16:16AM
Are you sure your netatalk server is configured correctly? Don't forget that some unix permissions which aren't accessible in the Sharing... settings on a mac will still be in effect. I've seen -43 errors when copying folders as 'guest' from machines running netatalk on traditional MacOS in the past.

If you get an access denied error when trying to create a folder, the explanation is:

2.2 When I create a folder on a netatalk/afpd volume, I get an Access Denied error, but the folder is created anyway.

This is a very common configuration error. The user is not in the group of the parent directory. Then the Mac attempts to set the group of the newly created directory to be the same as the parent, this error is generated. The fix is the change the group of the directory to a group the user is a member of.

Configuration error

I have a slightly different problem with netatalk on SuSe. Copying files works for small files but copying larger files results in a kernel panic for MacosX (10.0). With Macos 9.1 everything works fine. Actually, I had the access denied error when using MacosX PB. In the meanwhile I didn't change the netatalk configuration.
