yes - everywhere

anticipating your next questions... (2.05) and...

(sample AppleVolumes.default setting)
/home/shares/files Shared Files" perm:775 allow:@"Domain Users" \
rwlist:@"Domain Users"  cnidscheme:dbd  options:usedots

# ls -ald /home/shares/files/.AppleDB
drwxrwsr-x 2 ja Domain Users 4096 Dec  7
18:15 /home/shares/files/.AppleDB

# ls -al /home/shares/files/.AppleDB
total 34824
drwxrwxr-x 2 ja            Domain Users     4096 Dec  7 18:15 .
drwxrwxrwx 8 administrator Domain Users     4096 Dec 28 11:09 ..
-rw-rwxr-x 1 ja            Domain Users 35590144 Dec 23 10:33 cnid2.db
-rw-rwxr-x 1 ja            Domain Users        0 Dec  7 18:15 db_errlog
-rw-rwxr-x 1 ja            Domain Users        0 Dec  7 18:15 lock

(I find setting the 'group' sticky bit on the shared folder and group
ownership and write bits on .AppleDB and all enclosed files essential)
