Hi Sami,
Digging this up once again:

Digging up an old thread, I seem to remember you emailed me about some
changes made to make Jenkins installations on Mac OS more sane.
I believe I advocated having the Jenkins install set up a 'jenkins' user
in the same way that the Postgres install sets up a 'postgres' user.
Now, you emailed me a while after that about some changes you'd made,
and I then managed to lose that email.
I just upgraded my main Jenkins instance to 1.472 by using the Mac OS X
installer. I found the checkbox to install as a 'jenkins' user and
checked it. (I also unchecked the 'install as daemon' checkbox, what
happens if you leave them both checked?)
So, it does now look like my Jenkins home is owned by a user called Jenkins:
MiniMe:Jenkins root# ls -lah /Users/Shared/Jenkins/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 5 jenkins jenkins 170B Jun 30 14:49 .
drwxrwxrwt 6 root wheel 204B Dec 27 2011 ..
drwxr-xr-x 3 jenkins jenkins 102B Jun 30 14:49 .pip
drwxr-xr-x 80 jenkins jenkins 2.7K Jun 30 14:39 Home
drwx------ 3 jenkins jenkins 102B Jun 30 13:28 Library
However, I still can't sudo to this user:
MiniMe:Jenkins root# sudo -u jenkins -i
MiniMe:Jenkins root# whoami
root
Contrast this with sudoing to postgres on another Mac OS X machine:
buzzkill:~ chris$ sudo -u postgres -i
Password:
buzzkill:~ postgres$ whoami
postgres
Have I done something wrong or is there still a way to go with the new
jenkins user support on Mac OS X?
cheers,
Chris
