Hi,
after questioning few people about these permission corruption it's sounds
like it can happen even on a fresh install (not on top of a (erased) beta).
for example, a user reports having rw set for everybody on every user's
desktop folder on a clean install. The same partition holds a French MacOS
9.1, and OSX is very likely to be installed in French. He says he has not
installed "special" soft (Xfree or other hacks). Dev.Tools are installed.
Another user pointed out that it might be a localization bug. As it already
happened in the past, I'm likely to consider this option as a serious one.
So it leads me to the following question :
does anybody using a pure english OSX install has noticed permission
corruption on his/her machine ? (no dev. release)
By the way, I've gat 2 installs of OSX, both in english, one for test
purpose, the other quite clean, Dev.tools installed, no OS 9. None of these
have world r/w desktop..
