Script needed to make the address hint work....
This is how I modified the script on that hint:
#!/bin/sh echo "Changing addressbook Folder owner to `whoami` ..." chown -R `whoami` /Users/Shared/addressbook/ chmod -R a+rw /Users/Shared/addressbook/ echo "Done!"then I did a sudo chown root scriptname.shand a sudo chmod 4755 scriptname.shIt now works fine, but I think that something is wrong because the files become owned by root at login instead of being owned by the respective user: drwxrwxrwx 8 root wheel 272 May 29 23:52 . drwxrwxrwt 10 root wheel 340 May 29 23:35 .. -rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 6148 May 29 07:40 .DS_Store -rw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 458752 May 29 23:51 ABPerson.index -rw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 316625 May 29 23:51 AddressBook.data -rw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 819880 May 29 23:51 AddressBook.data.beforesave -rw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 979497 May 29 23:51 AddressBook.data.previous drwxrw-rw- 9 root wheel 306 Apr 29 20:15 ImagesThe problem is that a third user (my daugther maybe) could log in and erase my address book. Does anyone know how to modify this script for better security? |
