SFM: Macintosh Locked Folders Are Not Completely Secure (104198)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1
This article was previously published under Q104198 SYMPTOMS
After you either set the Read-Only file attribute or "lock" a folder
from a Macintosh computer on a Services for Macintosh (SFM) shared
subdirectory, you cannot drag files or folders from the same SFM
volume to the locked folder. However, you can copy any other file from
any other subdirectory (folder) on the SFM server, copy files from a
different SFM server, or copy files from the local Macintosh hard
drive to the locked folder.
RESOLUTION
To approximate a locked folder using SFM on a Windows NT Advanced
Server computer, set the NTFS permissions for the desired subdirectory
(folder) to Read-Only.
For more information on setting permissions on SFM volumes, please
refer to the Windows NT Advanced Server Services for Macintosh guide.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT
Advanced Server version 3.1. This problem was corrected in the latest U.S.
Service Pack for Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. For
