That's not really the App
The tip of the original poster just changes the permission for the folder that holds the NetInfo app. Removing 'executable' from this will solve the problem, but makes the application look like a folder to non-admins. The proper way to set the perms would be:
sudo chmod o-x "/Applications/Utilities/NetInfo Manager.app/Contents/MacOS/NetInfo Manager" Better still, move the Offending Apps (NetInfo Manager and Disk Utility) in to a folder that only admins have access to: mkdir "/Applications/Utilities/Admin Only" sudo chown root:admin "/Applications/Utilities/Admin Only" sudo chmod 770 "/Applications/Utilities/Admin Only" sudo mv "/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app /Applications/Utilities/Admin Only" sudo mv "/Applications/Utilities/NetInfo Manager.app /Applications/Utilities/Admin Only" Also, check out this thread at ArsTechnica: http://arstechnica.infopop.net/OpenTopic/page?a=tpc&s=50009562&f=8300945231&m=5230994492
Thanks!
Nice catch on the app vs. the bundle ... and I really like the "admin only" folder solution. I wonder how Apple will choose to patch it.

Again, for the "Copy-And-Paste" people (NOT the same as "Anal-Retentive"!! ;^), use the following syntax instead:
Sorry, Brad :)
I really was trying to quote it properly. Just for you, in fact! |
