It's going well except I've hit a snag with CFPreferences. I'm specifying kCFPreferencesCurrentApplication, KCFPreferencesAnyUser, KCFPreferencesCurrentHost and CFPreferences works fine if I run the daemon as root. But if I run it as nobody, CFPreferencesSynchronize consistently fails. If I manually change the owner of the bundle.id.plist file that CFPreferences creates to nobody, it works okay. None of this is a particular surprise, but I'm wondering what to do about it. How should a non-root daemon store its preferences? The daemon can change its settings during execution, so a static config file is not an option. Is there a good way to get CFPreferences to work? -Marc _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
