How to add _www to folder ACL?
Hi,
I'm using Lion and am trying to modify my ACL for a folder within Finder to share with the apache2 user _www . I have opened the Properties window, and expanded the Sharing & Permissions section, but I do not see any of the system groups or users appear. I realize that it is a system defined user, but I still expected to have an option to add it to my ACL.
I realize that I could change the POSIX group ownership/rights at the command line using `chmod`, but it would seem fairly restrictive that I cannot modify file rights from within the GUI. Moreover, that does not give me finely grained access rights as I have to modify the group structure.
Is there no way to share a folder with _www via ACLs? That seems extremely short sighted. I've searched for an option to display system users/groups in the System Preferences, but cannot seem to find an option anywhere.
Thanks,
Eric
