Hi,<BR>
<BR>
I have imaged a Mac and it now shows the etc and var folders, among <BR>
others in the Finder. These should of course be hidden. How can I hide <BR>
them, and any idea why Casper would have done this?<BR>
<BR>
Best wishes<BR>
<BR>
Michael<BR>

I won't always defend Casper, but in this instance I can't imagine that Casper is actually the cause of this issue. And have you imaged more than just one Mac to see if you can get it to reoccur and be reproduced?<BR>
<BR>
Did you install any other packages when you imaged? Would any of those have potentially changed some settings?<BR>

I agree with Craig. I suggest checking your workflow.<BR>
I had an instance where this occurred, but only when another member of my<BR>
staff performed the imaging. I never did find the cause because when using<BR>
the process I had established, it did not occur.<BR>
<BR>
If you can share your imaging process, and the packages and scripts in your<BR>
configuration, perhaps we can help find what is causing this.<BR>

Hi-<BR>
<BR>
I don't think it would be Casper either, but I use something called SetHidden to re-hide these folders. It came with (I believe) the 10.4 dev tools - though works on 10.5 too. It'll need installation as it's a command-line binary, but once it's installed, you can call it with a script as part of maintenance. It's simple and does the trick nicely.<BR>
<BR>
I attached a compressed a folder with the following:<BR>
<BR>
* SetHidden - file - Iceberg project file<BR>
* resources - folder - contains postflight script which executes the SetHidden command<BR>
* contents - folder - contains the SetHidden binary and hidden_MacOS9 file as distributed from Dev Tools<BR>
* build - folder - contains built, installable, Set Hidden.pkg, as compiled from Iceberg.<BR>
<BR>
Cheers<BR>
