#40667: Macports taking over file permissions on Time Machine files -----------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: grapesh@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.0 Keywords: | Port: -----------------------+-------------------------------- Trying to access files from my old Time Machine backups, I noticed I don't have permissions to open many of the folders (e.g. Users, System, etc) Here is a dir listing (below), and anything owned by macports:staff is neither accessible by sudo user nor can be changed by chown or chmod commands... Any idea how to modify permissions so I can get access?
