Tech Notes

I keep getting this message on MacOSX 10.9.1 repeatedly:

10:42:47 Kernel: sandbox: xcscredd(141) deny file-read-metadata /Users
10:42:47 Kernel: sandbox: xcscredd(141) deny file-read-metadata /Users

10:42:48 Kernel: sandbox: xcscredd(141) deny file-read-metadata /Users

I found Leland Wallace‘s post on Apple’s self-help Support site, and tried the following:

Let’s see if that silences a bunch of unnecessary log-noise.
