[Gllug] OT: Apple OS X Server File Permissions

[Ian Baillie]

OK, sorry I was unable to access the email yesterday.

Anyway, back on to permissions...

I tried looking for sticky directories (mode 1000) as suggested, but
didn't find any.  Any other clues?  I'm stumped, and at the brink of
spending an evening or weekend backing up the user files and
reinstalling, which I could really do without.

I have noticed that the group which owns /Users (where the users home
directories are stored) appears to be unknown.
