A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 129. I discovered recently that in OS X Lion that when you run repair permission in Disk Utility that it will not repair permissions on anything in the users folder. Items inside the user’s home folder are regulated by Access Control Lists (ACLs) while items outside the user’s home folder are regulated by more standard (POSIX) permissions. In this show I attempt to learn a little bit more about these permission systems as they relate to OS X.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Episode 126. Every year I take a weekly vacation to go camping in Pismo Beach. Of course most people like to completely unplug on vacation, but being the geek that I am I like my tech and I take it with me. As I set about getting things ready I thought you might be interested in my packing list and why I take the things I do.
