![]() ![]() I find the "everyone deny delete" ACL entry far more annoying than helpful. Personally, I removed the "everyone:deny delete" ACLs from my home folder and its contents in both my regular account and my test account, and created a second test account "just as Apple makes it" in case I ever need it. ![]() You'll discover a number of people have very different opinions on these issues. (2) Is there any drawbacks to just leaving it the way it is (I no longer have access denials/issues so my major problem is fixed) other than the possibility of deleting something that shouldn't be deleted or could software that I am running or even the OS itself have/create issues do to improper file permissions? (1) Is there anyway of resetting permissions in the user folder to default settings or do I have to create a new user account and transfer data over to it, or even worse reinstall Leopard and start from scratch? I know this because I have a mac laptop (that I didn't screw up!) that I have compared the results of the unix command "ls -le" to find that default settings for various files/folders are significantly different than the uniform access that has been applied by me to fix the previous problem as mentioned above. In addition the other permissions such as rwx for non admin or owners are not set properly as well. are set to "everyone deny delete" but now these folders are set to full access, delete and all. Typically I know that important folders such as documents, library, etc. Since I have applied the same permissions recursively throughout my home folder I have lost the default settings on the enclosed files. I then applied the same permissions once again to all containing items and now the access issues have vanished. I was able to reset the user permissions on the home folder for each account by rebooting with the installation disk and resetting permissions. Since then I rectified the issue by reading several other articles here on Apple Discussions as well as other discussion boards. Afterwards I had issues with access privileges that also effected my back up copies as I run a nightly back up to a firewire drive. To fix that I added each of us to the other's home folder as a user with read write access and applied to all containing items. I recently set up an additional account so that my wife could use our new mac and noticed that I was unable to read/write data in each other's home folder. I am new to macs (long time PC user) and so far love it! However, I recently ran into an issue with permissions. ![]()
