A macOS Security flaw opened access to users who didn’t have root passwords. So Apple updated computers overnight

Unfortunately Security Update 2017-001 turned out to bork file sharing, so Apple updated the problem both by issuing repair instructions and updating the patch.

To check whether you have the proper build, choose Apple Menu () > About This Mac. Click the System Report button and scroll down to Software. Click the word Software. You should be running 17B1003.

Thanks everyone.

p.s. Esopus Spitzenburg is my Mac mini. My MBP is Broxwood Foxwhelp. And yes, I’ve long since gone past Fuji, Gala, Rome, Honeycrisp, Pippin, Winter Banana, and many other varietals.

Clicking the version in About This Mac also shows the build number
