I have had an odd situation crop up in a Mac lab that is running Panther 10.3.2 and Rev 2.1.2. Rev will not launch unless the current user (usually 'macuser') is the owner of the rev folder and its contents. (For unix-y types the permissions are -rwxrwxr-x with macuser the owner and staff the group. And yes, I have set permissions recursively throughout the entire Rev folder.) For any other user, the administrator included, Rev starts to launch, but hangs at the splash screen while the error dialog flashes rapidly behind it. I have to force quit Rev to get out of this condition.

I have never had this problem before, so I checked another Mac that still is running OS X 10.2.8 and Rev 2.1. It shows permissions of -rwxrwxr-x with the administrative user as the owner and staff as the group. Any user that is a member of the staff group can launch Rev without problems.

Can anyone confirm this? Is there a fix?
