Hitting a wall with #netatalk here during #marchintosh - guest access always ends up with shares being locked, so I can't open a drop box for you to send me nice things over #globaltalk - anyone successfully done this?

@alanfleming may I ask you to describe what you’ve tried so far? The key requirement is that the “nobody” user is granted write privileges to the shared volume on the host file system, either directly or through group membership. Alternatively you designate another system user as AFP guest in afp.conf

There is also a Dropbox option in the official Netatalk container image if you’re running a containerized deployment.

Exactly that. user dedicated, set as owner of directory. They have write access - nothing in the window bar indicating not - but a lock. Error looged on as guest is "you cannot copy <thing> onto the shared disk "dropbox" because the disk is locked." If I screw up permissions separately, I can see that in the top bar.
