So, from what I have read: launchctl no longer has an interactive mode, nor does it accept commands from stdin. The /etc/launchd.conf file is no longer consulted for subcommands to run during early boot time; this func- tionality was removed for security considerations. While it was documented that $HOME/.launchd.conf would be consulted prior to setting up a user's session, this functionality was never implemented. ! It seems now you have to set a custom umask on an application level. https://discussions.apple.com/message/27022000#27022000 gives a tip for setting it for Finder, which seems to work. I don't think changes the umask for any other application, though. Anyone else ran into this yet? Rory Falloon Snr. Systems Administrator Mr. X Inc. T: (416) 595-6222, x 290 |
