I need my app to create some files when run under a non-admin acct that I need to persist across boots/logins. But every permanent location seems to be locked except for things inside the user's folder. I would have thought /Library/Application support would work but no.....
Looks like on 10.5 /Users/Shared is open for all to read/write to.
However, in your app you are going to have to pay special attention to
umask to make sure files you create are writable by other users.
