Your permissions do not match the permissions I see on my Macs. The group OS X uses for admin users is “wheel” not admin. Something is different on your setup, and that difference is probably the source of your problems. It’s impossible to diagnose your problem remotely. Create a new admin user in the GUI and see what happens there. -- The way I see it, the longer I put it off, the better it'll end up being. Heck, school doesn't start for another 43 minutes. _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list MacOSX-talk@omnigroup.com http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
