Thanks Lee. Before up’g to 10.12/10.13, I was using 10.11.6 without this noticeable addition (that I could tell), because at first after going to 10.11, I was able to use Get Info to allow access to the other access categories. On occasion, I write to the desktop or the HD and later distribute it to an appropriate folder.
I’ve now done a web search (Bing) to find numerous hits about this. Is it a real danger to disable this csrutil program? -russ > On Oct 29, 2017, at 7:01 PM, Lee Larson <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Oct 29, 2017, at 6:10 PM, [email protected] wrote: > >> I’m the owner & admin of this disk, and yet the “Get Info” window says >> ‘system’ under name instead of my logged name.
