Undoing a Terminal Command

i trying figure out how change permissions on mac working on , came across article told me...
"you need create , edit file user-specific launchd configurations, open terminal , run following command: sudo pico /etc/launchd-user.conf
...when finished, press control-o save file, followed control-x exit editor. log out of account , in, , launchd configuration incorporate new umask settings."

did this, thing changed when click "get info" documents on office server under sharing & permissions. before there list of names had either "read , write" or "read only" (these trying change). now, under setting "you have custom access". want "read , write" or whatever names happen set to.

here's background info. trying change these sharing & permission settings when create new folder, folder automatically set "read , write" , not standard "read only". achieved through apple.com tutorial (i should've trusted product maker on outside source anyways), want more detailed sharing & permissions description back. don't know how this. ideas?

 

what you've done change contents of file launchd-user.conf

if knew contents before, change them back

failing that, if have time machine backup can restore file before messed

if you're doing things in future it's worth backing old file

like
cp /etc/launchd-user.conf ~/desktop/launchd-user.conf.backup
copy file desktop

on related note, if you're not 100% sure you're doing should never editing in root directory. go crazy in user library though, can delete pretty ~/library , system still work (you might break user account, can make one)


luck!
