    At one point there was an option on AppleShare servers--when you clicked
    on "Make all enclosed folders like this one", it would pop up a dialog
    box asking you whether you wanted "Explicit" (just this one time) or
    "Inherit" (for all eternity). Inherit is normally what you want.

    I did notice that that dialog box no longer seems to pop up; I'm not
    sure whether the functionality has been moved elsewhere, or just didn't
    make it into AppleShare IP.
