Paul,
I am currently testing 10.5.4 and so far I haven't noticed the issue your
having. Things seem to be going ok so far.
The permissions I see on the English.lproj:
drwxr-xr-x 12 root wheel 408 Jun 13 00:36 English.lproj
The permissions I see in the English.lproj Directory:
-rw------- 1 root wheel 3 Jul 24 2007 .CFUserTextEncoding
drwx------+ 3 root wheel 102 Oct 2 2007 Desktop
drwx------+ 4 root wheel 136 Jun 30 19:09 Documents
drwx------+ 4 root wheel 136 Jun 30 19:09 Downloads
drwx------+ 20 root wheel 680 Oct 2 2007 Library
drwx------+ 3 root wheel 102 Oct 2 2007 Movies
drwx------+ 3 root wheel 102 Oct 2 2007 Music
drwx------+ 4 root wheel 136 Jun 13 00:36 Pictures
drwxr-xr-x+ 4 root wheel 136 Oct 2 2007 Public
drwxr-xr-x+ 5 root wheel 170 Jun 13 00:36 Sites
Thanks,

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
