April 1, 201115 yr So I was coping some of my DVDs to my server and when I went to GET INFO on my Mac on the file I noticed a USER who has "read only" is on there. I never added anyone else, any idea what this is about, someone trying to hack into my system? They are on multiple files.
April 1, 201115 yr In BSD systems there is a wheel group and members of that group are allowed to su to root. It looks like OSX has something similar. Google mac wheel group for some more details if it is a group you are seeing. If it's a user then something else is probably going on...
April 1, 201115 yr Author I also just noticed when I connect to my server from my Mac that under Permissions some files have root with read/write and some have myself with read/write access. The ones with root I can't change but the ones with myself I can. They all should have root and myself since I have it set up that way with user shares. Any idea?
