Leopard, home on NFS, and Trash

All managed users have a directory for their preferences @
/Library/Managed Preferences/SomeManagedUser
They are plists; doubleclick opens the associated app:
Property List Editor.  This is worth exploring.

One of the niftiest things that I've learned is that even default
settings that appear nowhere else can be changed @ the command line.
I found a reference that may prove useful to the group:
http://rixstep.com/2/20060901,00.shtml
Though I know there are others out there... anyway,

Within Terminal.app, one can also type the following to display their
Global settings: defaults read ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences
(There's another in system library preferences as well) And though I
don't know how ProhibitEmptyTrash would have been written there in the
first place, it wouldn't hurt to try the following at the command line:

defaults delete com.apple.finder ProhibitEmptyTrash

... and then restart finder

So we've tried permissions, symlinks, and now associated plists and
defaults.  Have we left anything out? Oh. Maybe Access Control Lists?

Hope this helps,
