Dumb thing I did in OSX
Well, I got sick of having to log in as root to edit my system folder. So I went into my terminal. And probably did the dumbest thing
'chown -R jdewind:staff System'
Now, I assigned my group to that folder. so guess what happened when I tried to reboot. It wouldn't because it obvisouly it looking for 'system:wheel' which it is assigned by default when installed. I had to reinstall OSX, I doubt anyone will do something that dumb like I did. but just fair warning

I've done that too...
I like to take note of examples like this so I can point out to others the dangers of playing with the Terminal when you don't really know what you're doing.

Yes, I agree with that. After I rebooted I about slapped myself. And I had just installed new ram, so I thought I might have had bad ram. So it was a fiasco. Then when I pulled out the ram and it still didn't work. I realized the error. So I think that policy is gonna stick from now on
