Do I understand this statement correctly, that the user must be the owner
of the parent directory !?

I had thought the user needed (read), write and execute permissions in the
parent directory

 - either 1) by being the user (UID) which owns it
 drwx______

 - or 2) in the group (GID) which own's it
d___rwx___

 - or 3) simply having a system account and having other's permissions
being rwx
d______rwx

Am I missing something?

To what extent is ultimate permission (for the user on the client)
determined by netatalk and to what extent by the underlying file system
(i.e. ext2)? What is the mapping here?

thanks,
