I've downloaded the ext2fsmanager cdev, installed it and clicked the "Ignore Permissions" options. Then I re-mounted the Linux drive.
But I still have the infamous 'Folder <public> can't be open because of insufficient access privileges.'
Essentially, I need a way to transfer files from the OS X to the Linux seamlessly, like Apple's iDisk. It would be nice to have a virtual folder on the desktop or doc as a portal to the Linux world.
I tried to burrow my way into the Linux world via Darwin and set folders en route to FULL permission access. Doesn't work. I would think that "world access" to a file is sufficient to allow anyone.
Security isn't my concern. Access Is.
I gave up on partitioning a single HD for both Linux and OS X. OS X kept stepping on Linux access and once I was in the OS X environment, lost the boot hook to Linux. Hence I reformatted the HD for just the YD Linux with the OS X on an independent HD.
I have yet to figure out how to use the G4's internal modem within Linux; so in the meantime, I could use the OS X for access to the Internet and transfer files from OS X to Linux.
My goal is to develop OS X-savvy software based on Linux Open Source: to use Linux to run its software from which I can design OS X native code.
But I have this security crap to contend with.
Regards, Ric.

I am not quite sure *exactly* what you want to do, but look here for some tips on an extension to invoke ext2 (Linux) filesystem support from within Mac OS X:

Question: What is a simple way to allow sharing files between the two OSes?
You can also see your HFS+ (Mac OS) partitions from within Yellow Dog Linux:

If you have other questions not mentioned in those places, feel free to ask!
