Sandbox... For years, standard POSIX permissions did a good job of defining access to our files and folders. But as our needs have become more complex, operating systems have begun implementing access control lists to help handle things. When Apple shipped Mac OS X 10.4, they added a robust granular permissions model. Unfortunately, only Mac OS X Server ships with a GUI for manipulating these permissions.

What's New
Version 2.2: Release notes were unavailable when this listing was updated.
Requirements
PPC / Intel, Mac OS X 10.4.4 or later, and some understanding of how access control lists in OS X 10.4 work.
About that last requirement: Sandbox is a tool for server admins and engineers, and power users—generally intended for those who have at least the fundamentals of ACLs under their belts, and not your typical home user. Apple's File Services Administration documentation is a good place to start to gain an understanding of how the system works.

Pity. I so wanted to like it. Went with TinkerTool System.

Pressed the "Inspect Folder…" button and
The variable theCell is not defined. (-2753)
Then dismissed the dialog, was presented with a file picker (not the one typically shown by the OS) and when I scrolled I got:
Can’t set «class disC» of «class broW» id 20 of «class splV» id 19 of window id 18 to "". (-10006)
Sorry, but that makes me very nervous about running this utility and then having my disk in even worse shape than the OS put it into...

Always glad to see a developer making the effort to introduce more security related software to the macintosh platform. Not enough of it. Thanks. Keep it locked.
Cheers
