Hi,
following the FAQs in the Iceberg User Guide and the advice of folks here, I am able to install a text file into a folder under ~/Library/Application Support (and not overwrite it if it exists). But after installing, I see that the Owner and Group for that file are "root" and "admin", respectively. (Which makes sense, since that's what I set in Iceberg.)
But if I create a file in that same location myself, (using TextEdit, for example), then the Owner and group are both "Howard".
Is this a problem? Do I need to set the Owner and Group differently on a user's machine? If so, how do I set them in Iceberg (or in my Postflight script) to be the actual user whose home folder it is stored under?
Thanks,
Howard
