wrong permission for /usr/local/outset/share/com.chilcote.outset.plist #53

This does not work

Inside /usr/local/outset/boot-once/boot-once.sh I set:

defaults write /usr/local/outset/share/com.chilcote.outset.plist wait_for_network false

This results in: /usr/local/outset/share/com.chilcote.outset.plist to have the permission set -rw------- root:wheel

This results in the login-every script not executing.

This works

If I do not set "defaults write /usr/local/outset/share/com.chilcote.outset.plist wait_for_network false " inside /usr/local/outset/boot-once/boot-once.sh then the permissions are:

I don't see how this is an issue/problem with Outset. This is a problem with your boot-once.sh script. defaults always sets the mode of files it writes to 600. You should fix/change your script to reset the mode to 644 after using defaults.

Verified the permissions are correct when installed. This has come up before, and is probably due to the wiki recommending using defaults to manipulate this (non-preference) plist, which is probably bad advice. I updated the wiki https://github.com/chilcote/outset/wiki/NetworkTimeout to include a note about permissions.
