Title: Re: 10.6 Upgrade kills permissions on Application Support folder
I agree with that case when the application is installed for a specific user. What about the case when the application is installed for all users? It seems like it should be in /Library/Application Support for the latter situation.

The permissions look right. Users should only be able to write to ~/Library/Application\ Support

Hey all,
I have an application that needs a support folder in /Library/Application Support. This folder is created when my installation package is run and has the following permissions:
drwxrwxrwx 6 root admin 204 Aug 10 18:09 Foo
When running the 10.6 upgrade to Snow Leopard from 10.5, the permissions get changed to:
drwxr-xr-x 6 root admin 204 Aug 10 18:09 Foo
This has the side effect of preventing the application from writing to the folder when run as a user other than root. Changing the permissions back to drwxrwxrwx after the upgrade fixes the problem, but I'd rather release a preemptive patch to fix this rather than dealing with it on the customer support side. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Everette
