  • We are setting up Builder to launch the help pages into an external browser. The key advantage of which being that the code samples can then be copy/pasted. On a Mac there is a recognised bug in eclipse that if you choose Firefox as the external browser, and it is NOT your normal system default browser. Basically Eclipse attempts to launch a second instance of Firefox which will generate the “Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time” dialogue…

    • Option 2, if you want to keep something else set as your system default browser e.g. Safari, but would use Firefox for displaying Flex Builder help, you need to either edit or create a new external browser entry using a command structure as per comment 5 on the eclipse bug sheet. Essentially the following settings work…


      • Location: /usr/bin/open
      • Parameters: -a firefox %URL%

SMB users and file ownership issues | AFP548

A forum thread with workaround fix to SMB users and file ownership problems (Mac OSX Leopard Server v10.5.x)

mac osx osx10.5 servers forumposts fix workaround problemsolving tipsntrics permissions sharing filesharing it

  • Hi all,



    I'm having a curious issue with my new 10.5 server installation. Here's the whole picture:

    -Brand new Quad Core Xserve

    -Started as Workgroup configuration, but promoted to Advanced

    -Bound to Active Directory

    -Is OD Master, and the only OD server I have.



    We organize our file storage here a little differently than others do- I have a script that queries the database for our accounting system, and when new jobs are created in that database, a folder hierarchy is made in the format

    Client

    --Job Number

    ----Department1

    ----Department2

    ----Department3



    I have permissions set so that users have full control of content within each DepartmentX folder, but no higher. Under AFP, everything works out exactly as we want it to.



    When the same account logs in under SMB (which will only be used by my few Windows clients), I see the following symptoms:

    -User could create a folder, but can't name it differently than the default. You could make New Folder and New Folder (2), but make a folder and try to rename it, Windows responds with a cannot rename, access denied error.

    -Same applies for right-click: New Text Document. Default names are acceptable, renaming isn't allowed.

    -New Folder can be opened, and written to. Files here can be saved and renamed at will.



    I've tried setting the DEfault permissions to be both "inherit from parent" and Assigning as Read and Write for everyone, with no luck.



    Again, the same user accounts logging in under AFP are fine.



    Does anyone have a guess what setting I have wrong here?



    Thanks.
  • Yeah, I started that thread too. Wink



    I found a workaround via the mac-os-x-Server list:



    > The workaround is to append the following lines to /etc/smb.conf:

    This will tell SMB to disregard ACL's. I'm sure there must be some drawback to that, however. But it does make the server useful for Windows clients, which is better than it is now.
