Ugh. The 'Crashes when connected to the network' issue is likely unrelated to permissions, and the rest sounds like it expects to be connected to the network to work. My first guess on the apps issue is to see what the user/group permissions are (including ACL's, if there's a '+' on the long directory listing in Terminal). ACL's can definitely Mess You Up if misapplied. You can do stuff like this <http://krypted.com/mac-security/recursively-remove-acls/> to clear them all out before trying to get them straightened. Krypted is a great site for this kind of stuff. If you only see a uuid not a name in terminal when the machine is disconnected, this means that the user who 'owns' this stuff is not present in the local directory, and any permissions changes must be done the hard way (chown & chmod as root) by comparing it to a working system. If "everything" means EVERYTHING, not just the POS software, nuke&pave it if Disk Utility Repair Permissionsdoesn't fix it. (This is the one time where Repair Permissions might actually be something more than a placebo) Me I'd probably say 'screw it' and nuke&pave followed by restoring data. -- 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 subscribed to the Google Groups "StrataList-OT" group.
