| iCal resetting calendar file permissions Hi, I have multiple accounts for the family and we want to share iCal calendars. So I created a shared directory in /Users/Shared/Family/ where all account holders create/save their calendars. The mamagement is simple. The Calendars directory is writeable by the 'family' group and has the sticky bit set. All calendars are R/W by the owner and RO by the group. The problem is that iCal insists on resetting these permissions. For example, If I view another users calendar, when I quit iCal, I find that iCal has done a chown on ALL files in the Calendars directory and they are all owned by me. This is causing all kinds of problems as you can imagine. We keep losing our updates (depending on who quits iCal last ..). I am running 10.3.9 on a G5 Powermac .. How can I prevent iCal from chaning ownership or file permissions on viewed calendar when quitting .. ??? Thanks, -Ajay |

| Update .. for others who might read this .. It turns out that I made the directory owned by root and now we cannot overwrite calendars and reset ownership. Previously, because the directory had family write permissions, the sticky bit did not seem to be honored. The shared calendar stuff works for us now, provided we don't need to update each others' calendars - which is the idea. |
