10.5: Enable default permissions on shared folders
Authored by: jonnyboy on Jan 29, '08 06:49:13AM

hi,

thanks for posting this tip. it seems to be exactly what i want to solve my problems but i am still failing to get it to work (although learning a lot in the process!).

all i want to be able to do is have a shared itunes library that is fully editable by two users without any restrictions whatsoever. i'm doing this on a macbook so using the shared folder is my only option. i've created a group (allusers) and added both accounts and created a new Shared folder in the Users folder and successfully enabled the ACL for my group the shared folder without problems (although i had to log on a root in order to do this easily). despite this, however, itunes complains that the Shared folder is locked. in get info my "allusers" group has two entries; custom and read-only. the only feature i really want is the inheritence of permissions so i've experimented with just adding the inheritence tags to the ACL but no avail...

it's hard for me to talk about this because i lack much in depth knowledge but surely there must be a non-hideous way of creating a fully shareable itunes library on a macbook?! i am thinking my only option at the moment will be to wait for sandbox to be updated :(
