Share one Address Book among multiple users
There was a discription of how to do this type of thing in MacAddict a few months back that I could never get to work (and others had similar problems) because it seemed as though "Address Book" would reset the ownership and permissions of the data files each time it was run - so setting the permissions to something like 777 would not "stick" as different people accessed the files. The author of the aricle claimed that he did not experience such problems in the MacAddict forums - I would provide a link but macaddict.com is not currently reachable by my machine - though that might be a local problem rather than a problem at their end.

I *think* you should be able to get it to work by moving the address book file to a new location (EG to /Users/Shared) and then create the symlinks/aliases - no need for a new partition!
For me at least, the symlink/aliases resulted in files that reverted to the old premissions/ownerships (I think that AddressBook creates new files each time, and does not inherit the old files' permissions). The new partition with "Ignore Permissions" would overcome this "feature". |
