Can you give me an example of a user set up with all privileges to  
his calendar collection, all privileges to a shared calendar folder  
and read only or no access to other users calendars. I was able to  
get all users the ability to publish calendars, but unfortunately  
they were allowed to publish to any users folder.  Not just their  
own.  So far all changes I have tried result in all or nothing.

I'm hoping to set this up for a school in the next week or two with  
about forty teachers (and possibly for the 900+ students). Before  
they run out and buy Now-Up-To-Date.

I wrote a small app a couple of summers ago to create an XML file for  
importing users into OS X server using fields from a tab-delimited  
file of users first and last name.  It generates the shortname and  
password according to selections made and then writes the xml file. I  
was able to modify it last night to generate a properly formatted  
repository-dev.xml.  If I can get the privileges worked out I should  
be able to generate the repository-dev.xml for 100+ users in just a  
few minutes.

Also, is there a graceful way to quit iCalServer or reload the  
repository-dev.xml file? Right now when I want to make changes I  
terminate the shell.  Delete the previous principals, users and  
calendars then ./run again.

Thanks and Have A Great Day.
