I tried to run the command listed on the web page:
sudo find /sw/ -user 2011 -exec chown root:admin {} \;
Changing attributes of symlinks is a delicate field. I think on HFS+ you basically can't, the symlinks have (or better, show) the attributes of the directory they live in. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
And I got a lot of errors similar to these:[]
chown: changing ownership of `/sw/etc/gtk/gtkrc.sk': Function not implemented
On a quick examination, I noticed two things. First, these seem to all be symlinks. Second, I am using fink's chown, not apples. I tried it
Fink's chown from fileutils is GNU chown. It tells you that it can't chown on a symlink, which is the truth. This doesn't matter if the chown operation is also applied to the file the symlink points to.
again, specifying /usr/sbin/chown, and it didn't give me errors--but it didn't change these permissions either.
Did you look carefully? I think it chowns the source file instead, which is a dangerous behaviour IMHO.
Is this OK? If not, what can I do about it?
I guess it is safe to forget about this problem.
