The "ls -l" command gave the following results: Macmini:~ raglencross$ ls -l total 0 drwx------+ 6 raglencross staff 204 Jul 19 14:45 Desktop drwx------+ 4 raglencross staff 136 Jul 7 20:53 Documents drwx------+ 13 raglencross staff 442 Jul 13 15:35 Downloads drwx------+ 33 raglencross staff 1122 Jul 11 00:22 Library drwx------+ 3 raglencross staff 102 Jul 7 20:53 Movies drwx------+ 5 raglencross staff 170 Jul 8 22:54 Music drwx------+ 4 raglencross staff 136 Jul 7 20:53 Pictures drwxr-xr-x+ 6 raglencross staff 204 Jul 16 10:51 Public drwxr-xr-x+ 5 raglencross staff 170 Jul 7 20:53 Sites
Presumably "drwx" means delete/read/write/execute permission for me, raglencross, (and the group staff?) for the specified folders i.e. Desktop, Documents, etc. Don't have a clue what the number and date columns or "-xr-x+" mean! You are right that the SBS and mplayer executables are installed with different ownerships. SBS's owner is "unknown" and mplayer is owned by me. Changing SBS to my ownership does not solve the problem, probably because, as you suggest, said ownership has to be extended to the containing folders and directories. Anyway, as a new Mac user, it looks like I will have to dig in to the whole matter of sharing, ownership and permissions as done by Apple. It seems to be every bit as complicated as for Windows, despite the hype about Mac's simplicity! In the interim, I can listen to PHC using one of my Windows servers ;) Thanks for your help in steering me in the right direction, Bpa. -- raglencross ------------------------------------------------------------------------ raglencross's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7239 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79577 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
