Chapter 10 Managing Preferences 169
Allowing UNIX tools enhances application compatibility and efficient operation, but
may decrease security.
If you don’t manage Applications settings for computers running Mac OS X v10.5 or
later, Legacy settings are used.
To set up a list of accessible applications:
1 In Workgroup Manager, click Preferences.
2 Make sure the correct directory is selected and you are authenticated.
To switch directories, click the globe icon. If you are not authenticated, click the lock
and enter the name and password of a directory domain administrator.
3 Select one or more users, groups, computers, or computer groups.
4 Click Applications and then click Legacy.
5 Set the management setting to Always.
6 Select “User can only open these applications” or “User can open all applications except
these.”
7 Add items to and remove items from the list.
To select multiple items, hold down the Command key.
8 To allow access to applications stored on the user’s local hard disk, select “User can also
open all applications on local volumes.”
9 To allow helper applications, select “Allow approved applications to launch non-
approved applications.”
10 To allow use of UNIX tools, select “Allow UNIX tools to run.”
11 Click Apply Now.
Managing Classic Preferences
You use Classic Preferences to set Classic startup options, assign a Classic System
Folder, set sleep options for the Classic environment, and make specific Apple menu
items available to users.
The Classic System Folder is a Mac OS 9 System Folder that contains the Mac OS 9
operating system. When users run Classic applications, they are running Mac OS 9 from
the Classic System Folder.
Classic can be run on Mac OS X v10.4 or earlier.
