Two questions:
What's the difference between the groups "wheel", "staff", and "admin"? What do they do?
specific use case: I'm trying to setup a local CVS repository as stated in the Apple webpage so I can download a remote source tree... and I have to get myself permission to use a new directory
/usr/local/cvsrep
. It gets created by default as owned by "root" under group "wheel"... but I don't have membership in "wheel", I do have membership in "admin" and "staff" and am just wondering if I shouldchgrp
the directory to admin or staff instead of wheel.
