Share one iCal file between multiple users on one machine
Authored by: tlarsonfreeman on Jul 21, '06 03:45:23PM

This can be done in Tiger. There's actually no need to set up a separate partition or use a second drive. If you've already been using iCal, your calendar data is in ~/Library/Application\ Support/iCal. As an administrator, move this folder to /Library/Application\ Support/iCal. Then go to File->Get Info, under Ownership & Permissions, and change the group to 'everyone' and give Others 'Read & Write' access. Then make symbolic links for all the users using Terminal:

% cd ~/Library/Application\ Support
% ln -s /Library/Application\ Support/iCal iCal
