Hi, in our small office we have 3 macs: 1 mac pro, 1 macbook pro, 1 mac mini server.

The server has an external drive that we use to save our work from the other two Macs.

When a user in mac 1 saves a new folder on that hd, mac 2 can't access it. Both of our users have admin privileges on mac mini server, and the credentials saved are identical on all of 3 macs.

Many years ago, in another office, I used an app that worked in background and autoassigns permissions to a folder on the machine, but I don't remember the name. Googling tells me how to make it in terminal, via ACL, but no solution to recursively autoupdate permissions on server.

And the latest OS X server broke the hd functionality to verify HDD in the main interface. Everytime I have to login on the server and via ACL finder clicking the gear on the info window and manually assign the user.

How can I solve this annoying problem?

Thanks in advance
