I'd forgotten to edit my email 'to' in the header. Hope this is now corrected.
As regards the permissions problem -
What is really needed is a command that tells all my macos files to forget _all_ their file permissions. Then perhaps I can start again...? Reverting or resetting doesn't seem to work.
n.
If the following two things are done before executing chmod commands...
1. you need to be root to change these files 2. the disk needs to be mounted read/write
I see no reason why the these commands should fail.
caveat: unless there is something in the MacOS file system implementation on linux which I am missing (as I mentioned before, I have no experience with MacOS)
You cannot revert/forget file permissions as this is not historically recorded.
Not sure what to suggest next.
-- Thanks,
David
