Hi, This is exactly the fix I was looking for - I too want the contents of whatever is added to the shared folder to adopt the permission settings of the folder. However, when I run the chmod +a line, I get an error that says:
chmod: Unable to translate '.....' to a UID/GID.

What I did:
sudo fsaclctl -p /Users/Shared -e
I created a group called AlMa in the accounts system preferences.
Then I logged out and back in did the chmod line:
chmod +a "AlMa,add_file,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directory_inherit,read,write,delete,append,execute" /Users/Shared

I would like to share the contents of the Shared folder. Is that not possible. I will try this for each folder within the Shared folder.

-Alex

Well I started over and tried to apply this trick to a folder within the shared folder /Users/Shared/Movies and I still get the error: Unable to translate 'AlMa,add_file,search,delete,...' to a UID/GID.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
