Constant file permission problems

Hello out there..
I'm currently trying to sort out a problem with - what I guess is my - file permissions.
The problem reappears, even after a long disk repair session, where loads of issues are found and repaired.
At the end it says everything is ok, but if I click repair again, it starts again , and even after restart, the problem is back again?!?!
I've set my permission as follows, (to those of you who doesn't speak Danish - it's "read & write"), but it still says I have "special access"?
Why? and what can I do to fix it..
Please help me..
Michael

Disk Repair or Permission Repair?
Long list from a Permission Repair that come back is normal. Nothing wrong. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1448
Long lists of problems from a Disk Repair that keep coming back is bad news. Likely failing disk.
Special Access means you have Access Control List entries set for the particular directory/file.
Did you every change permissions and then "Apply to Enclosed?"
Do you actually have file access problems, or are you just repairing permissions and think the long list indicates a problem?

  • [Bug] Xilinx IPCore file permission problem

    I just copied a CIC IPCore node from a colleagues VI and tried to reconfigure from a 2-channel to a 4-channel filter.
    At the end of the process I got a file permission error for a path which does not exist on my computer (presumably it has remembered the location to save the file from my colleagues computer).
    Not too big a problem except the dialog will not close and I now need to exit LabVIEW and restart to get any more work done.  In other words, a file permission error (or inexistent path) hangs the IPCore properties dialog at the last stage (at least for the CIC filter).  Not nice behaviour.

    I realise theres a path input at the beginning of the process but even if this is incorrect, the dialog should not hang.

  • File permission problem and  instance owner problem

    Hi all
    Recently i have install oracle 11g R2 software ( Using oracle user).
    oracle home owner is "oracle" and group "oinstall". ( oinstall is primary group and dba as secondary group for the owner "oracle")
    At the same time I have create new user name "test" and group as "dba".
    As a "test" user i can able to access the software , creating new oracle instance , stop and starting the oracle database (orcl).
    But when I started the orcl database as test user.
    I can see the different owner for that instance and file permission is also different ( In my cas oracle user is becoming owner for the orcl database , Which is created by the test user )

  • File Permission problems FCP and XSAN

    We have 5 Mac Pros connected to our XSAN (2 Xserves and 2 Promise arrays.). When a file is created on one of the FCP Macs and saved on the XSAN, the permission are OK (Individual - R/W, Group - R/W & Everyone RO.)
    The problem is when a file, generally audio (from our sound booth or music from an outside source) or a graphic (usually Photoshop from our Graphics folks) is brought in over the LAN and save to the XSAN volume, the permissions are Individual - R/W, no group is listed and Everyone - No Access.
    If they try work on something that another user started, they get permission errors if the sequence contains a file that was brought in from the outside.
    I know we can change permissions on a file, but there are so many of them that it is slowing down production.
    Is there anything we can do to either eliminate this happening, or have something like a drop folder they can place a file in to automatically change the file permissions?
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
    The MacPros are running OS X 10.5.8 and FCP 7.0.3 and the XSAN is running Mac OS X Server 10.5.8 and XSAN 2.2.
    Thanks.

    If files saved to the AFP reshare are inaccessible by the fibre clients try this in terminal on your AFP re-share...
    sudo serveradmin settings afp:lock_manager = no
    Then restart AFP (or reboot), and re-propagate permissions back to where you need them. This will hand off file locking duties from AFP to the Xsan, which will help keep your permissions correct.

  • File permission problem

    Dear Ravi,
    I was encountered another strange problem.
    I have a stored procedure which will first create a sh script in the system and execute the script later. If I call the stored procedure from the foreground, everything works fine while run it as backgound, it fails. When I check "all_scheduler_job_run_details" view, I found "perssion denied". I found the sh script is with "-rw-r----" permission and the owner of the sh script is oracle user which is logical because I use utl_file package to create the file. But the extjob runner is nobody which is in "other" group and obviously he don't has enough privilege on the sh script. I tried umask on the background, it gives me "0027" and on the foreground, it is "0022".
    I know that I can create the file using the command line as well so that the owner will be nobody as well.
    My question is that how could I change the umask to "0022" when I run the extjob.
    Regards,
    Lik

    Hi Lik,
    I believe that utl_file creates files with the umask value of the oracle user(027 in your case). You can check the os documentation to change the umask value of an os user.
    The switching of umask to 022 in the foreground is in fact a Scheduler bug which has been fixed in 11.1.0.6 where using run_job to run an external job would cause the umask value of the foreground to change (so utl_file would see a wrong umask when run in the foreground).
    This is not something that should be happening and not something you should rely on.
    Changing the umask for extjob wouldn't help since the umask is only in effect when the file is created. The umask for an external job should be the umask of the user the job is running as.
    Hope this helps,
    Ravi.

  • HT201250 Aperture 3 library file permission problem

    On trying to open Aperture 3 I get a message saying "Aperture cannot access this library.To use this library, make sure its file permissions are set correctly". When I click OK Aperture shuts down. Can anyone help?
    I've been stumbling through trying to rationalise too many Aperture libraries and moving them to an external drive. This is almost certainly how I've manged to get into this situation...

    No sorry in Aperture 3 all that got turned into entries in database files. And even if you could find them it would do you no good because the only place an actual image file is located is in the Masters folder, where the files imported are kept and the Previews folder, where the previews are kept.
    Also bear in mind that the Masters folder is organized by import date and time not image date and time.
    As a  side note you need to be very careful using an online backup service for Aperture (and iPhoto) libraries. Because of the way the # libraries there have been reports of some of the services causing libraries problems when restored.

  • Oracle Secure Backup on Windows: file permission problem?

    Hi all.
    I did a new Oracle Secure Backup installation.
    I implemented a real simple domain:
    a Linux box is the media/administrative server. Then I have some Windows and Linux Client.
    On a Windows 2000 server SP4 box I'm experiencing an error.
    On certain directories i get the following:
    The directory is not a subdirectory of the root directory.
    On certain files I get the following instead:
    The directory name is invalid.
    The OSB service is running under the local system account on the client.
    Can you help me trouble this error?
    Thanks

  • [MX 2004} Can't upload! The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem

    I'm running MX 2004 on Windows XP. All's been well for the
    last few months, doing site maintenance at this part-time job. I
    get tangled up a bit in checking files in and out, coming from
    GoLive, and since there's no one else with FTP access, yesterday I
    told it to check the entire site in. I didn't have any changes I
    didn't want to commit, and I figured that would keep things a
    little neater.
    As of today, I can post revisions to existing pages, or
    resize image files, but when I create a new page, or try to place a
    new image file on an existing page, I can't upload it.
    So, to be clear: I have two pages already up on the site,
    index.html and apple.html, with a link between them. If I create
    new page banana.html and make a link to it from index, index.html
    will upload that revised link, but banana.html is refused with the
    message
    FTP error: The file may not exist, or there could be a
    permission problem
    I know the file doesn't exist (remotely); I just made it.
    I've gone to Prefs and disable Check In / Check Out, which didn't
    do me any good. What next?

    Can you open the FTP log, select one of these new files and
    upload it- then
    cut and paste relevant part of the ftp log?
    Also- does this site have a "host directory", a subfolder
    that your public
    files need to go into? If yes- is this folder listed in the
    host directory
    line of the remote server info?
    And odd past thing i've seen-
    Had hosting that used public_html as the public folder name.
    They also had a symbolic link named www that pointed to
    public_html
    Could upload/download existing files with www in "host
    directory" line of
    dw; but could not upload new files or work with files in
    subfolders.
    changing to public_html instead of the www symlink fixed this
    for me.

  • File permission and ownership problem

    I am trying to resolve some file permission and ownership problems that are left over from using Migration Assistant to set up my iMac from an older iMac. In a terminal session when I use the ls -l command I'm getting a file/directory owner of 504. Sometimes the group is admin and sometimes the group is also 504. I think this is because the owner of the file on the old computer is not present in the new one but I want to be sure before I just change the owner and group.

    The following should give you an indication->
    id -un 504
    or you could try->
    dscl . list /Users UniqueID | grep 504  && echo "User exists" || echo "User does not exist"

  • Newly-created Files & Folders Permission Problem

    Hello. I have a Snow Leopard Server 10.6.8 with Snow Leopard and Lion clients.
    When all Macs were running Snow Leopard, any client could create new folders and files on the Snow Leopard Server, and all other Mac clients can access and modify them (Read and Write permission).
    I updated a few clients to Lion, and now when a Lion client created a new file or folder on the Snow Leopard Server, only that client has Read & Write permission. All other client now cannot modify the newly-created file/folder.
    My temporary fix is to change the folder or file permission on the server so everyone can have access.
    Does anyone know how to fix this? Is this the Lion client problem or the Snow Leopard Server problem?
    Thanks.

  • Permission Problems Since Clean Install of Mt. Lion

    I did a clean install of Mountain Lion last month.  I reinstalled all my apps from freshly downloaded installers, rather than copy anything to my pristine system folder.  I copied my music, photos, and other documents from my Time Machine drive.  Now, I have constant permission problems on all these folders.  I don't have permission to do anything to any of these folders or subfolders.  I can't rip a CD to iTunes,  I can't sync my iPhone.  I can't download anything. I can change the permission on each folder individually, but there must be thousands of them.  There must be an easier way.  Changing permissions for a parent folder doesn't change the subfolders.  Disk Utility reports no problems when I repair disk permissions.  Thanks in advance for any help.
    Also, the iPhoto app disappeared after the clean install.  I don't know how to re-install it.  Do I have to wipe my drive clean again and install Leopard from  my original DVD that came with my iMac?  That would be a huge job to get back to Mountain Lion.  I'll post this question in another thread and link it here.

    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -Rh $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word, all lower case, with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’renot going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
