I made some debugging progress. On 10.7 I get: $ dscl . -read /Users/fink-bld gid dsAttrTypeNative:gid: 280 Alexanders-MacBook-Pro:my_fink hansen$ id fink-bld uid=4294967294(fink-bld) gid=4294967294(nobody) groups=4294967294(nobody),402(com.apple.sharepoint.group.1),403(com.apple.sharepoint.group.2),12(everyone),61(localaccounts) On 10.6, on the other hand, from an absolutely identical fink checkout: $ id fink-bld uid=280(fink-bld) gid=280(fink-bld) groups=280(fink-bld),101(com.apple.sharepoint.group.1),61(localaccounts),12(everyone),102(com.apple.sharepoint.group.2) I'm not sure why it's being balky on 10.7. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison http://finkakh.wordpress.com/2012/02/21/got-job/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
