Here is the current Apple problem that has me scratching my head, just 
thought I would post it here as well as the Apple forum etc. and se 
if anyone else has seen similar.

Client: 10.4.2
Server: 10.3.8

Problem
Any user other than the user who mounts the AFP share is refused 
access on a Tiger client.

Description
A user mounts an AFP share on his desktop using Apple+K and  
authenticates using his own login and password, supplied in our case 
by OpenLDAP. Doing a ls of the mount point shows that all users have 
rwx access:

host1:/Volumes root# ls -l
drwxrwxrwx 20 admin workgroup 636 Sep 9 12:12 share

A second user logs in and tries to access the share:
host1:/Volumes billo$ ls -l
drwxrwxrwx 20 admin workgroup 636 Sep 9 12:12 share
host1:/Volumes billo$ cd share/
host1:/Volumes/share billo$ ls -l
ls: .: Permission denied

So, although the permissions tell him that he has access, and he is  
a member of the same group even, he can't do a dir listing, touch  
files etc. He can however tab to complete the contents of share, so he 
must have access of some sort.

I suspect a ACL problem, as this works on panther. But I haven't set 
any up, and ls -le shows none have been set.

I have also tested with local users and still get the same problem.
