OK, so here's a question for you OS X / UNIX *pros* ...
If I change the owner of the *Apple* installed Applications to "me" instead of "root" and the group to "staff" instead of "admin" (so that I can control who can view/delete some of these files better) can Apple Software Update still see and update them? (They would still reside in the Drive/Applications folder).
Unrelated Question 2:
Do I *need* to keep "receipts" (stored in the Library folder)? For example, I have package receipts for 10.0.1 - 10.0.4 in there but I am now running 10.1, so do I NEED them there. And what do they do other than show you WHAT packages have been installed??
