Subject: [netatalk-admins] More on OS 8.5, 8.6 problems with pre-asun-35 and coppied applications

So on further examination, it appears that OS 8.5 and 8.6
support storing program/datafile associations on remote volumes.

	What appears to be happening is that a user will drag an
application to the remote volume, the file will copy, and then
something tries to create a datafile in (root)/.AppleDesktop/
and because the user does not have write permissions to that directory,
the copy fails.

	My next question then becomes:  how can I turn this feature
off at the server level so that application associations just don't
get stored on the server?  I don't want one user to be able to set
application preferences for others.
