OK, I have another interesting permissions question. On my machine,
with a fairly standard setup, my userid is jdaniel and I am a member
of the following groups: jdaniel appserveradm appserverusr procmod
admin. My wife's account is the same. Both accounts are identical on
three machines.
I have a user who is having trouble with an installer. His user id is
paulquin and he is a member of groups: staff and admin. He has 10.4.8
like me. He may have installed differently than me via Archive and
Install, for example - I don't know.
Still, why the difference?
How come he is in 'staff' while I am not.
How come I am in a group having the same name as my user id, while he
is not?
What should the ownership of a user-installed application look like?
Apple's apps are owned by root:admin. All my apps are owned by
jdaniel:jdaniel. Should my 3rd party apps be jdaniel:admin, for example?
Thanks,
John
