For now I'll avoid pretending to understand suid/owners more
|
||||||
|
than I do. There've been some vague reports of file-ownership
|
||||||
|
and permission issues, particularly in cloud/VM/headless setups.
|
||||||
|
My pet theory is that this has something to do with these setups
|
||||||
|
not having a token that gets delegated to initial/admin accounts
|
||||||
|
on macOS. See scripts/create-darwin-volume.sh for a little more.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In any case, by Dec 4 2021, it _seems_ like some combination of
|
||||||
|
suid, owners, and calling diskutil enableOwnership have stopped
|
||||||
|
new reports from coming in. But I hesitate to celebrate because we
|
||||||
|
haven't really named and catalogued the behavior, understood what
|
||||||
|
we're fixing, and validated that all 3 components are essential.
