when I was setting up fink under 10.3, I made a mistake when it asked what account to use when doing a selfupdate (or something along those lines). Instead of telling it to use admin or root, I told it to use my personal account.
So, when it runs rsync, it does an su using my account (I'll call it my_account here). See below for what it looks like. Consequently, /sw/fink is owned by me, not root.
I don't trust myself with such power. How can I correct this? I know I can change the ownership of the directory using chown -R, but how do I fix the configuration error? There doesn't appear to be anything in fink.conf.
Thanks, Mike

(etc etc)
