User permissions on external disk
I've recently moved from a Vista gaming rig to a nice little silent Mac mini 2GHz with Leopard and have a problem with user permissions on my main external FireWire 750Gb disk.
As I like to keep most of my 'files' on my non-OS disk and have a backup on another disk (Time Machine is taking care of that now :D), I have my Media, Software and Files ( my files) folders in the root of this external disk.
I have an extra 'Guest' user account (an actual non-admin account, not the Guest User account as sessions aren't persistent I believe) however I'm unable to completely block this user from accessing the 'Files' folder on my external disk. The other two main folders are not personal and are fine.
I can set the Guest permissions to read-only but if I try and remove the user or grant No Access (as well as giving 'Everyone' no access) I can't remove the user from either my (admin) account or the Guest account.
So at the moment the Guest account is still granted read access to my personal files! How do I remove access altogether to everyone except me on this external FW disk folder. Its in Mac Extended format btw.
On Vista this was as simple as removing everyone except me from the Security tab in the folder's properties. Why is this so difficult in Leopard?
edit** woops it went in the time machine forum.
