AFP Mount Point Permissions (Solved)
I have the following situation on Leopard 10.5.5: % mkdir a % ls -ld a drwxr-xr-x 2 User staff 68 Dec 4 21:53 a % mount_afp afp://User:password@readynas/Share % ls-ld a drwx------@ 9 User ...

If you look a the first example, you'll see that the mount-point I'm using is "a" and starts out with 755. Once I mount afp://readynas/Share over it, the permission on "a" becomes 700 and there's no way to change it. The files inside the share (and inside the mount point) continue to have the correct permissions and work as expected. The problem seems to be with the mount point itself. I PM-ed you...
It is my understanding this is the correct behavior when doing a mount. When a file system is mounted over a directory, the permissions of the root directory of the mounted file system take precedence over the permissions of the mount point.
I tried this with two mac machines and the behavior with Mac machines running 10.5.5 is the same as you describe above.
