Thanks for the fix.

 

But, for completeness sake, I think you should fix the permissions on the "Retrospect Client" folder and its contents in /Applications as well. They appear to be world-writable by default which isn't good. (Forutnately, the permissions on pitond are secure enough to prevent an unprivileged user from replacing it with something malicious that could run as root.)

Run this AppleScript on computers installed with Retrospect's Mac OS X Client software to fix the following bug:

 

Incorrect permissions are assigned to the RetroClient folder and, in some cases, to the StartupItems folder.

 

Note: The following permissions will be set:

drwxrwxr-x root admin /Library/StartupItems

drwxrwxr-x root admin /Library/StartupItems/RetroClient

-rwxrwxr-x root admin /Library/StartupItems/RetroClient/RetroClient

-rwxrwxr-x root admin /Library/StartupItems/RetroClient/StartupParameters.plist

 

Filename: client_security_patch.sit

Supported versions: 5.x client

System's supported: Mac OS X only
