UPDATE: Download script to fix permissions in users’ drop boxes (and add an ACL entry to fix this issue permanently) on Mac OS X Server 10.4.x
If you work with server-based home directories on Mac OS X Server and your users exchange files by copying them into each other’s drop boxes, you might experience the following situation: the sender of a file stays the owner of the file, although she copies it into another user’s drop box where she can not read the file anymore. The recipient of the file has only read permissions on the file, meaning noone except root can delete the file anymore.
