Does anyone know what permissions to check? I think I made a bad move when I got rid of the receipts folder to save space on my image, as I am not allowed to run the check permissions command. It states that there are no valid packages.

Even more testing, I copied the receipts folder from another computer and ran the check disk permissions. It can up with an error that ./private/var/spool/samba needed 777 permissions. I fix the permissions on that file and checked it again with no errors. I still cannot get my account to print.

 


Sounds like a problem for AdmitMac.
