Repairing CasperShare Permssions

I have to ask why you have to repair permissions in the first place? I think I have had to do that maybe 3 times in the past 5 years and I know twice was due to me doing things I wasn't suppose to and messing up the permissions.

The only thing you need to really worry about is read/write access to your casper install account and your casper admin account. I use POSIX for ownership and ACLs for read/write for the casper accounts. Haven't ever really had a problem.

Most often I've had to do a permissions reset when I have an mpkg that won't deploy properly - typically an Office update.

Same issue, What should the permissions be? I can't add packages at the moment.

Jamf needs to either update it's KB or bring back JSS Setup Util.

Permissions should be POSIX for the server (owner), ACLs for the Casper read/write account. At least that is how I do it.

POSIX - root:admin

ACL casperadmin - rwx casperinstall - r-x

My permission were correct. Turned out the be a JSS dist point issue with HTTP. I remembered that as I was call support. Once I unchecked (must have been checked on the upgrade) I was back in business.

Thanks!
