Hello,
Here is the thing:
I am running Mac Os X in a lab environment and recently upgraded to Leopard.
On my Tiger build, I had set permissions on various preference panes (Sharing, Accounts, Print&Fax) as Read/Write on one admin account (owner) only and no access to other Admin and Standard accounts, so that students and some lecturers with local admin rights could not mess around with them. Trying to do the same thing in Leopard, and things don’t exactly work in the same way…Now that Leopard uses ACL’s, they have introduced the Everyone Group which, if set to No Access, does not allow anyone to access the specified items. The Everyone Group includes all accounts in the computer, including the owner, so setting this as No Access, excludes myself as well.
Ideally what I want to do is create a Group and then comment it out of the Everyone Group, which will then be set to No Access. I have spent a few days searching and there is not a lot out there (unless I have missed it )
Is this possible? Any other ideas?
Thanks
doesn’t ACLs give you MORE granular control over who has access to what? How about using netinfo or something, I don’t have a definite answer because im still on tiger and am annoyed that Mail.app isn’t working for gmail and I doubt if its growl’s fault
