AFP Mount Point Permissions (Solved)

I agree that this should be the correct behavior... however this is not what happens under Linux (Ubuntu.) Under that environment, when tested a mount of an SMB share to the ReadyNAS, the permissions became 777. Anyway back to the correct behavior... If this is correct, as it should be according to spec, how can I modify the permission on the ReadyNAS share (the source of the permissions that cover the mount-point) so that they are reflected as 755. What I noticed is that if i modify the "everyone" permission under Advanced Options, it actually maps to the user bits at the mount-point level. That is, if on the ReadyNAS share settings I change the everyone permissions to "read" (from the default read/write) and then mount the share, the mount-point permissions become 500, instead of 700. This would indicate that there is some mapping of permissions taking place between the ReadyNAS and the host system. By default the group/everyone perms under Advanced are read/write for both. This is obviously not refelcted on the mount point, and is confusing. Why would the ReadyNAS interface show read/write for all three sets of perms under Advanced, but when mounted, would show only 700? So the questions remains, can I create/configure a share on the ReadyNAS that will mount as 755 via AFP?

I honestly don't know how you would set this on our NAS or a Mac client. Like you have already seen in Frontview there are two places to change permissions. One in the Advanced tab that modifies folders on the NAS and another on in the AFP section that you have to scroll down to see that allows changing of file permissions. This however does not help with the executable bit you want to set. I will look around and see what I can find out.
