AppleTalk Wizards:

Two questions:

1) We're running Aufs (CAP 6.0) on a Sparc 1+ running SunOS 4.1.0. It works ok
except that occasionally we get an error message saying something to the effect
of "You have in sufficient permission to ..." when we try to copy or delete
files.

Now I looked, and the .finderinfo and .resource directories are being created,
and right now they always give global read, write, and execute permission.
So I fail to understand how anyone could have insufficient permission.

It may be of value to note that I have a .afpvols file in my home directory
and I haven't encountered the problem, but other users who simply default
to their home directories *do* have the problem. Although, as I said, the
permissions and ownership of the .finderinfo and .resource directories
appear to be correct. Any clues anyone?

2) Second question, we seem to be having a problem with MacTCP and 
"phantom" IP addresses. For some reason, after upgrading a couple of our
macs to Sys7, MacTCP no longer worked, even though VM was off, and the
cdev was located in the system folder proper, with an alias in the control
panels folder. 

I traced the problem to the IP address. When I changed it to one of the
previously unused IP addresses, everything worked fine. (I should note
that we use hardwired IP addresses.) Now I suspected that maybe two of
the Macs were claiming the same IP address, but I checked and they all
seem to have unique addresses. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanx in advance!
