Subject: Moving a preference to multiple users network homedirs
I have a 4k file (Sibelius preference file) that I need to send
out to multiple home folders (~/Library/Preferences). I tried moving
it to the local machines /Library/Preferences folder with no luck.. (
have a call into them to see why this is).
So.. how can I copy a 4k file to a few thousand home directories?
I have tested both the cp and ditto command with no luck.. (it
seems to copy to only one then stop. I did a wildcard at the student
number on the copy (/Volumes/XRAID1/2006/*/Library/Preference) and it was
of no help.
I am sure I am missing something silly.. I don't see a 'managed
preferences' (like we had in MacOS 9/Macintosh Manager) where I can put
a pref in one place... All the desktop machines are 10.3.X thru 10.4.X
running Workgroup Manger.... servers are 10.4.3
TIA!
Matt
