Apple has also made a big chnage from a Unix-like permission model to ACLs. They introduced ACL in the last upgrade, X.4, so developers would see it, but Apple did not do anything to require its use. In OS X.5 ACLs are more prominent, but still not required. The old Unix-like stuff works fine. I expect that in X.6 the OS will be slanted to using ACLs. That is how to do it gracefully. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
