[Casper] Byhost issue?

Hi matt,

Need to make a script that will run after running the following command to update byhosts properly.

/usr/sbin/jamf fixByHostFiles -target '/Volumes/Macintosh HD'

Should be good to go after that.

Howdy all,

OK, hopefully this is an easy one.  Working on our new 10.5 image, and when we push out a fresh image to a test box (while netbooted), I can't get Software Update to stick (in the Off position) for any user (1
admin, 2 managed).  Don't think it is a Byhost issue, because everything else Byhost related retains proper settings.  Only the Software Update setting doesn't play nice.

Tried making a UE package from the admin user with Software Update set to off, and set it to Fill Existing Users.  Pushed it out with a Byhost update and rebooted.  Software update is On for all three
users.....opposite of what I was trying to do.  Any ideas?  Never saw this issue on 10.4.

Could it be permissions related?  Been monkeying with User permissions on 10.5, including removing ACLs.  I don't think so, because in the above test, I have tried with User, Group, and Everyone set to RWX for
all three existing users.



Bonus Question:

Anybody been tweaking users permissions for 10.5?  With 10.4 we were able to chmod all users Everyone perms to "No Access" with no issues.  With 10.5 it looks like Everyone needs to be set to Execute for
Byhost and Menu Bar prefs to take effect correctly.  What works best for you........leave 'em as Apple set 'em, or something different?

Thanks,
