I'm trying to fix the problem and not just the present symptoms. The settings are going to be different in different directories. There is also the issue of setting permissions using POSIX vs. ACLs. You can really mess things up by playing with this. So don't blame me. Very specifically a normal setting for a file or directory in your domain is: (Me)Read and Write staff No Access everyoneNo Access It is much, much safer to do it the way I first told you. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
Re: [CGUYS] Proper permissions for OS X slave drive?
Yes, I know that but I need the files to be on the 2ndary drive (that's why it is there!) and it still leaves me with a 2ndary that has the wrong permissions and ownership. I'm trying to fix the problem and not just the present symptoms. It's not complicated to do once I know what they should be. But googling the subject only brings up permission repair tools for repairing permissions on the primary drive. I don't think they would do the job if pointed at the 2ndary drive ... but I could be wrong... Under Leopard, I am not sure what the primary account, system and possibly admin should be re: ownership and perms. I am pretty sure that "Everybody" would normally be read only. Can someone with OS X (prefirably Leopard) do a Get Info on their 2ndary internal drive for me and tell me how the ownership and permissions are listed there? db tjpa wrote: On Oct 28, 2009, at 1:46 PM, db wrote: Thanks for that info... but I really want to correct the ownership and permissions for the drive before I go forward ... not just have them ignored for the moment. What I told you is correct. If you copy such files to someplace where these settings do matter you will find that OSX will change those settings for you. Or at least it did the last time I did this. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** * * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Re: [CGUYS] Proper permissions for OS X slave drive?
Thanks for that info... but I really want to correct the ownership and permissions for the drive before I go forward ... not just have them ignored for the moment. My intuition is that incorrect ownerships and perms on that 2ndary drive will come back to bite again in some way some time if I don't fix them now. Does anyone know what the default ownerships and perms should be for a 2ndary internal SATA drive on a Leopard MacPro? db Stephen Brownfield wrote: tjpa wrote: On Oct 27, 2009, at 6:57 PM, db wrote: I recently bought I new primary sata drive for a MacPro and loaded Leopard on it while keeping the 2ndary internal sata drive ... which included data ... intact.
