Re: [Jailkit-users] Jailkit problem

[Andrew Bush]

HI Olivier,

thanks for your replies.

Ive found the problem with the permissions...I had tried chown and 
various other things but it wasn't working, turns out mac os x .dmg 
volumes have permissions disabled by default.

by 'enable root' I just meant that under mac os x they kind of hide 
that account away and deny access to it unless you jump through a 
vaguely obscure hoop, I was keen not to have to jump through that hoop 
to solve the problem.

So Ive got it partially working now, turns out mac os x doesn't ship 
with groupadd or useradd either but Ive found drop-in replacements.

still moving forward, thanks for your help.


Yours cheerfully,
