Great, but not complete
Authored by: badrad on Jul 24, '02 04:44:02PM

This works good, but not totally like OS9. While the entire volume is readable, it is not writeable. Plus, if I set a directory to writeable, it does not set subdirectories.

I would like it so any subdirectories/files inherit the privlidges, plus any new files/directories created after the setting of the privledges inherit them. Just like OS 9. Am I making since?

Actually you can click apply and the privledges apply to all enclosed folders, BUT, any newly created folders dont automatically inherit the privlidges. That is the last thing I need to figure out.

I was thinking about it.

The problem is that when a new folder is created, it automatically sets only the owner to have write privledges. If there was a way to change that so either
A. you could customize what the default privlidges are
B. it checks and copies the privlidges of its containing folder.
