OK, here's a question.  When darwin mc is running, what is it running AS?
It can write to files with read/write (everyone), but cannot write to files
with read only (everyone.)  If I knew what it was running AS, I could put
that into a group and simplify my life.  When I use the shell command
whoami, it returns "root."   But that's what the shell commands are run as,
NOT what the metatalk scripts are run as.  I can get around this by using
shell commands to write files instead of metatalk commands (open file,
etc.), but the question remains.  Anyone have the answer?  :)
