Lion Weirdness

We've got 2 Lion machines in the office - one is my laptop, and I discovered one of the newer iMacs is also running Lion.

I obviously started experimenting with backups on my laptop and used a named account (chris) to do the Time Machine backup, and it worked OK. Everywhere else uses a generic "tm" account to connect to the server, and this also works.

However, I thought, I should standardise, so I changed the ownership of my backup on the server and connected with the "tm" user, and it errored! Said that the server didn't support some AFP features it needed. So I changed the ownership back to "chris" and it went back to working.

So, today, I try to do the other Lion machine in the office, and it gives the same error! Creating a new user account on the server and connecting with that made it work.

Lots of weirdness, since, as far as I can tell, there really isn't much of a difference.

But hey, it works :)

Only 6 more machines to setup...
