1. I'd use chown, get the error message, curse, and then add sudo to
the front :)
2. I own the directory the Dummyfile.hs was in
drwxr-xr-x 20 iainb iainb 680 Aug 1 15:04 Write a Scheme
compiler in 48 hours
3. GNU Emacs 21.2.1
4. How do you know this?: I press C-x C-f, type in the filename, press
return, and then use Finder > Get Info or ls -al from a terminal;
-rw-r--r-- 1 root iainb 8 Aug 1 12:27 Dummyfile.hs
-rw-r--r-- 1 root iainb 9 Aug 1 15:03 Dummyfile2.hs
5. How are you launching Emacs?: I open a terminal, type "emacs",
press return. If I run "whoami", then I'm me (iainb) and not root.
6. What is this file?: any file I save from Emacs using C-x C-f.
7. emacs -q:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root iainb 10 Aug 1 15:04 Dummyfileq.hs
8. emacs -Q: unknown option; I also can't find it in the man page.
9. sudo emacs:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root iainb 9 Aug 1 15:12 Dummyfilesudo.hs
10. su -l root
emacs:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root iainb 9 Aug 1 15:16 Dummyfilesuroot.hs
and in response to the "use a bulldozer to crack a nut" suggestions ;)
11. I'm not rebuilding OSX just for Emacs
12. I'm not recursing through every file to change it's ownership
Most importantly, (probably) it does seem that emacs is running as
root
ps -aux | grep emacs:
root 1805 0.0 -0.2 48104 4548 p2 S+ 7:38PM 0:00.36
emacs
I have no idea why it's doing this or how to change it. If I quit
emacs and while in the same terminal run "whoami", I'm still iainb.
Regards,
Iain
