Problem

Solutions: Novell 3.11 has the ability to assign trustee rights to a file, just like assigning rights to a directory. When using a WPCorp program and assigning rights to files, customers can run into a problem. When a file is retrieved and modified, the original file is deleted and the newly modified file is saved. The rights are deleted/changed since a new file was created. The rights are not saved to the new file.

Page 210 of the Novell 3.11 manual states that, when possible, users should make trustee assignments in directories, rather than files. It would be appropriate to assign these rights to files when using programs such as databases that don't delete the file upon saving.
