Hello, I'm sort of new to this newsgroup and to CAP but I have been volunteered to maintain our macs and suns running system 6.0.4 on the macs and sunos 4.0.1 on the suns. We have some trouble with CAP every now and again where it doesn't maintain the look of windows when you close them: you view by name and open the window again and it's back to view by icon. Even if you are the owner of the files and the folder. Even if you are root. Other things are strange when one of our users stores files on the server and then modifies them with an application, he ends up with corrupted files. If he copies the files to his mac, works on them and then copies them back it works ok. Someone suggested that I don't have all the patches to cap installed. What patches are available and what do they do? I have more questions but they will have to wait to the next post. Thanks in advance! Chris louie!beez@sunpitt.east.sun.com

So if you home directory is /usr/users/xyzzy, you need .finderinfo and .resource in /usr/users, and they have to be writable by everyone.
