External Disk Permission issues
I share my laptop with a colleague using 10.6.8
Tonight I had to do some shuffling of files on external disks. I kept getting asked to put in her password. The external disks were "read only" and only read/write under my log in, not hers.
I know how to "Find Info" and set the "Ignore permissions" check box so I can fix that... but I've wondered if that means there is some underlying installation error.
What causes external disks to suddenly become read only?
Random facts:
I've repaired permissions in her log in.
She has administrator privileges.
Thanks for any insight.
