You could change the permissions to everything/all for all users by chmod -R /mountpoint/for/netatalk 777 or create user logins (Heavily recommend that you do not use spaces or punctuation in names though Macintosh is very tolerant of this) and then add all users to a group then make the group owner of the directory tree... addgroup dom_users adduser joe -g dom_users adduser jim -g dom_users chgrp -R dom_users /mountpoint/for/netatalk You have to be careful of two things when you change permissions/ownership of folders within the tree of a netatalk served volume...the folders that are labeled "Network Trash Folder" and ".AppleDouble" are special - before you modify these, locate one of each and note the privileges and be prepared to store them or people will have trouble with deleting files and/or their desktop files.
