Acl?

SGilbert

Registered
Repaired permissions as I usually do once every few weeks, and now, instead of the usual SUID etc. I get:

"ACL found but not expected" for Applications; Utilities, and Library folders.

What is ACL? Is all OK, or is there a problem?
 
Access control list.
No problem.

If that's on 10.4 (unless 10.5 has it's defaultly enabled, also there)
sudo fsaclctl -p / -e
would have enabled them on the volume.. (or some file would have had them by default in those locations). Nothing to worry.
 
same problem? here at my comp.; even went in and tried to delete but to no avail. all seems to be okay. using 10.5.2 on a g41gz-2gig ram etc.
 
Never mind the ACL message in Disk Utility.

It's something forgotten to be cleaned before this update was released, or something that should simply be able to be ignored.

Also I get this on my work OS X 10.5.2.

Something in Mac OS X 10.5.2 update appears to have added these permissions to the affected folders:

ls /

/Library --> drwxrwxr-t+
/Applications --> drwxrwxr-x+
/Applications/Utilities --> drwxrwxr-x+

The "+" part indicates ACL is in use. The Disk Utility messages are safe to ignore.
(I bet they get a lot of calls on this).
