I'm having some odd behavior with some folders that appear to be hidden in finder, but show up when logged into the command line. Sample output:
Code:
The three directories at the top are displaying this odd behavior. From my own research it appears that the invisibility bit is set on these directories.
I run a small lab of Macs (all running MacOSX) so my users are constantly doing odd things to their shared files. My users arent particularly adept with computers, but somehow theyve been able to set the invisibility bit on these files and others.
Id like to know how I could restrict their permissions so that the process of making files and folders invisible is at best impossible and at worst very hard.
