All,
I have copied user data to a new computer using these commands.
1. Login as an admin, open Terminal and use the following to push the user
folder to the external drive:
rsync -aEv /Users/<username> /Volumes/ExternalHD
2. Then use Casper to wipe the drive and lay down the 10.5.8 image and all
apps.
3. Login to the machine as the user, then logout.
4. Login to the machine as admin, open Terminal, then do the following:
cd /Users/<username>
rm -rf *
rm -rf .*
rsync -aEv /Volumes/ExternalHD/<username> ./
cd ..
chown -R <username>:staff <username>
5. Logout and log back in as the user to verify all of their stuff is
there.
The new user account is unable to write.
Here is what I have done so far.
Repair Permissions sudo chown -R <username> <directory> Went into cd /Users/<username>
typed ls l All of the permissions looked good to me
Any ideas?
Jon
