Do you understand the Posix permissions and ownership concepts, as

Do you understand the Posix 'umask' concept and its default value?
Again, you should learn that.
Finally, you will need to provide non-nil attributes to
createDirectoryAtPath: that specifies all-read, all-write, and all-
search permissions on the created dir. If you don't, then the
directory will not be writable to anyone except its owner (the user
account that creates it), due to how the default umask value affects
the created dirs initial permissions.
Thanks, I'll look into it.
Whenever you write the log-file, you may also need to specify all-
write permissions. It may depend on how you write the file.
I'm using -[NSDictionary writeToFile:atomically:] so I guess this
isn't an option. But seeing as this file will not exist unless it was
created by my app, and neither will the containing folder which I will
create with full permissions, any file created in this folder will
inherit the parents permissions?
Cheers,
Memo.
