Public folder file permissions keep being set to read-only on Mac OSX Server 10.4.11

Asked by will4062 in OS-X Server, Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger)

Tags: file permissions, OSX, Server 10.4.1

I recently took over a client who runs all Mac's in the shop.  They are running a Mac OS X Server 10.4.11.  They basically only use the server to host an accounting application and to facilitate file sharing.  There's a public folder on the server which stores all the important word documents and such.  When I view "Folder Info" on the shared folder, admin is set as the owner with read/write access, the group "management" is set to have read/write access, and just to troubleshoot I also set everyone to have read/write access.  When I view share -l, it shows the folder with the correct permissions.  However, whenever a user creates a new document, after it's saved the permissions magically reset on that file to "read-only."  I have tried chmod g+s as suggested by another forum, but it didn't solve the problem.  I haven't been able to find a solution, despite my best efforts.  I have all the latest updates installed.
