[ome-users] /Library/StartupItems/PostgreSQL permissions

[Stephen Ogg]

OME team-

I installed OME successfully yesterday onto a mac 10.4.7. The OME  
installer created a folder in my Startup items folder to start the  
PostgreSQL database each time I start my computer. But the OS won't  
run anything in that folder unless the owner/group & permissions are  
correct (owner must be root, group wheel and permissions 0755).  
Somehow the PostgreSQL folder that was created had its permissions  
set to: "drwxrwxr-x" when it was made by the installer (both files  
within that folder were set to the corrrect permissions 0755). The  
upshot was that after installation, the database was fine and I could  
import images. Upon restart, PostgreSQL refused to start-due to OS X  
restriction on startup items. I changed the permissions on that  
folder and now everything seems fine. Images import, spots are  
identified and tracked, but I wanted to make sure that I haven't  
screwed things up from some other angle as permissions can be tricky  
sometimes.

Thanks for your help
Steve
