Cloning woes

After yesterday’s clone I noticed some applications behaved erraticly, amongst which Preview, Thunderbird, Appfresh… rather irritating.

After some searching I found the fix on this CCC Forum thread:

1
2
3
sudo chgrp wheel /var/folders/*  
sudo chmod 700 $TMPDIR  
sudo chown $USER $TMPDIR

In short, the permissions for that directory weren’t taken over correctly from the original, hence the problems. All fixed now ;)
