For example, if I do get info on my (10.8) boot volume I get: system: read & write admin: read only everyone: read only This is correct. However, if I then go down to the Applications folder I get: system: read & write admin: read & write everyone: read only Which allows me to move, delete, and rename things there because my account (johnson) is part of the 'admin' group. If I look at /Users/Share I get: system: read & write wheel: read & write everyone: read & write Which is also as it should be. So first we have to identify what the current permissions are, because of an inquisitive teenager was fooling around with things, there could be all sorts of odd things going on. Fortunately they're all fixable, it just may be a bit tedious and fiddly. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
