Leopard Week 1: Careful with permissions!

It’s Sunday 28th of October, two days since the release of Leopard. I’ve been running OSX 10.5 since Friday and everything is working very smoothly. I love the new look and have enjoyed playing around with Time Machine. I can’t wait for some hacks to allow backing up to SMB shares!

All I have to say this week is be careful with permissions. I was in System Pref playing around with Leopard’s Cool new File Sharing features and I accidently removed myself from the Admins of my HDD. I didn’t think this would actually effect my permissions within OSX but it did. Nothing would load up and OSX failed to do anything after the boot screen at power.

I managed to fix this nightmare by running Disk Utility from  my install disk and then selecting to Repair Permissions on my main HDD.

All for now!
