Hello,
I'm having a challenge attempting to customize the home directory
for all our local and network users.
In the past - customizing /System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/
has been straight forward and worked as expected.
However, not the case with 10.5.4.
I login in as root.
Ditto or cp my perferct setup to the User Template/English.lproj directory.
Reboot - test creation of a new admin or standard also works as expected.
However - challenge arrises when I "repair permissions" with the Disk
Utility - then create a new account - the new account's home directory
is read-only.
Only when I "get info" on the newly created home directory and add the
correct owner, then "apply to all enclosed items" - does the new account
work correctly and have read and write access.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Has anyone found a solution that they'd be willing to share?
In the mean time I will keep plugging away - and will report back if I
find a solution.
Regards,
Paul
