Access Control Lists (ACLs) are active by default in Leopard. The OS checks ACLs before it checks the standard POSIX (rwxrwxrwx) permission bits. That means it’s possible to have what appears to be a secure file or directory, but a bad ACL could allow rogue processes or rogue users to gain access.

This isn’t just a problem of user misconfiguration. In the last three years, I’ve submitted vulnerability reports to four major software vendors, because their OS X installer packages altered the POSIX permission settings (and sometimes ownership) on some important files or directories. If an installer package adds or alters an ACL (to your tax records, for example), it might go unnoticed (but could make you quite unhappy when you found out).

I save a lot of Internet bookmarks, some of which are from my iPhone, but I find it difficult to organize bookmarks on the iPhone. So I created a folder that I called "iPhone To Mac" in my bookmarks, and I put any bookmark I create on the iPhone into that folder. Then when I sync my iPhone with my Mac, I organize all the bookmarks I created on the Mac. This allows me to keep my bookmarks organized without organizing them on the iPhone or remembering which folder I put them in, finding them, then renaming and organizing them.
