TICKET ARCHIVE -> Saving Photoshop and Quark files in NFS

We are unable to save these files in NFS on a Linux server (Suse Enterprise 10) as when the files are reopened there seems to be a problem with permissions,and explanation of problem from a linux engineer is in brackets below
(As discussed, the issue seems to be with certain applications that rely on the HSF+ filesystem type - which is not supported on Suse10 (or any linux distribution that I've seen for that matter).
The actual share is working fine. I can mount the share, create files with content, etc.. however, the problem seems to lie with some applications having issue with the filesystem not being native, and creating extra 'meta' files. This is where permissions seem to get confused as to the permissions of the file handles, and it all falls apart from there.
What's more, Suse 10 does not natively support Appletalk, Apple's custom filesharing protocol. This can be compiled in, but is not supported by Suse.
So it seems the issue lies at the Mac OSX end of things. Without being able to be at the workstations to try and configure them correctly (if it's even possible) for use with these applications (Quark, PS), there's not much else to try. )
I'm not sure if there is any solution to this but would like to find out if there is. The MAC's are running Leopard,

Rather than opening files on the server directly, can you copy them to your local hard disk, open them and make changes, save them, and then copy them back in the Finder?

Hi there, I have checked ref your response of the 4th July, this does work but presents an impractical way of working

A discussion here:

A site on running Dreamweaver CS3 on Linux using Wine emulator:

Sounds like VMWare or VirtualBox are good virtual options for running Adobe software.
As for the file compatibility, it sounds like you're working on macs with have two directory forks and the Linux system is based on the Windows system of one directory fork.
Maybe your IT people can run scripts to get the two files back to one when you put them on the Linux server? Barring that, you might consider using dedicated mac servers for your graphic department?
