ACL messy duplicates causing problems with services

I have a network environment that is configured with open directory.
I have been having a persisting problem with on files on a shared drive that members of the open directory have been accessing/editing. The problem being that the permissions of that file (i.e. the ACLs) are all screwed up. The files can have multiple users and groups in the ACL (which is obviously ok) but each of those users and groups can repeat over 10 times in some circumstances.
The following is the result of a shell "ls -ale" of an offending directory:
-rwxr-xr-x@ 1 johnsmith workgroup 554496 28 Mar 10:58 My-File.xls
0: user:johnsmith inherited allow write,delete,append,writeattr,writeextattr,chown
1: user:johnsmith inherited allow write,delete,append,writeattr,writeextattr,chown
2: group:manager inherited allow read,write,execute,delete,append,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,re adsecurity
3: user:johnsmith inherited allow write,delete,append,writeattr,writeextattr,chown
4: group:manager inherited allow read,write,execute,delete,append,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,re adsecurity

7: group:manager inherited allow read,write,execute,delete,append,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,re adsecurity
8: group:manager inherited allow read,write,execute,delete,append,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,re adsecurity
9: user:johnsmith inherited allow write,delete,append,writeattr,writeextattr,chown
10: user:johnsmith inherited allow write,delete,append,writeattr,writeextattr,chown
11: user:johnsmith inherited allow write,delete,append,writeattr,writeextattr,chown
12: group:manager inherited allow read,write,execute,delete,append,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,re adsecurity
13: group:manager inherited allow read,write,execute,delete,append,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,re adsecurity
14: group:manager inherited allow read,write,execute,delete,append,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,re adsecurity
These files seem to affect services such as time machine running correctly and I would assume could also cause other issues.
I have tried stripping all ACLs from the devices and starting again... however the problem quickly returns.
Could somebody please shed some light on what may be happening and how I can fix it.

  • I have two Iphones with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID. Will that cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

    I have two Iphones 5 with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID account.Both are using IOS 8.
    I would like to set up a new Apple Id for one of the phones and remove it from the old account.
    If I do that, can I move all of the purchased apps and songs to the new Apple account?
    Also, will sharing one Apple ID account with two devices cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

    Sharing an iCloud account between two devices can be done without causing issues with iMessage and FaceTime, just go into Settings for each of these functions and designate separate points of contact (i.e. phone number only, or phone number and unique email address).  While that works, you'll then face the problem where a phone call to one iPhone will ring both if on the same Wi-Fi network -- but again, that can be avoided by changing each phone's settings.
    Rather than do all that, don't fight it -- use separate IDs for iCloud.  You can still use a common ID for iTunes purchases (the ID for purchases and iCloud do not have to be the same) or you can use Family Sharing to share purchases from a primary Apple account.

    Java 6 you can't as Apple maintains it, and Java 7 you could if you uninstall it and Oracle provides the earlier version which they likely won't his last update fixed 37 remote exploits.
    Java broken some software here and there, all you'll have to do is wait for a update from the other parties.

  • Problem with services hierarchy and purchase order

    Hi I'm in Srm 7 EHP8(classic scenario) and i have a problem with services hierarchies:
    I create a Purchase requisition in ECC with the next structure:
    1.Hier
    1.1 Serv1
    1.2 Serv2
    1.3 Serv3
    Then I upload this PR to SRM(I activated the BBP_EXTLOCALPO_BADI to change to the Extended-classic scenario to upload correctly the hierarchy)
    and in the SOCO  I only choose the position 1.1 Serv1 and create a purchase order.
    The problem is the purchase order created in ECC contain all the services of the purchase requisition, not only the service I choose(1.1 Serv1) to create the purchase order, in SRM the purchase order is correct with only one position(1.1 Serv1)
    Any Idea?.
    Thanks for the help.

  • If I install the update to Adobe Reader 10, will that cause problems with Acrobat Pro 9?

    Firefox (version 15.0.1) is telling me I need to install an update to Adobe Acrobat 9.4 in order to view pdf files in my browser. I use Acrobat Pro 9. The update is actually Adobe Reader 10, and I am wondering if I install this, will it cause problems with my version of Acrobat Pro?
    Because I am not sure if this is so, I have temporarily disabled the plug-in and now pdf files download automatically rather than display in my browser. I would prefer they open in my browser but do not want to upgrade to Acrobat X.
    My OS is Windows Vista. I did not include the "troubleshooting information" file because I'm not sure what specific info is being requested.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi WMdotcom

  • Reduce folders in Windows 7 for pictures without causeing problems with PSE11

    The only way to move files or folders/subfolders without causing problems, that is not creating 'missing files' is to do this from within the Organizer, not the OS (Win/Mac).
    You can create folders and move pictures from the Organizer.
    Note that if you are moving the files of several subfolders into a single one, you run the risk of wanting to move files with the same filename into the same folder ; your OS won't allow that. So the Organizer will rename pictures if needed.
    If you want to do such a big reorganizing task, absolutely do a full backup before. There is no advantage  for such a reorganizing from an Organizer point of view, but if you need it for some reason, it has to be done from within the organizer.

  • Anyone know if the long standing duplicate files problem with File History has been fixed yet?

    There are loads of public threads about the duplicate files problem
    with Windows 8/8.1 File History backup system.
    From all the threads I've looked at, there seems to be no solution,
    and no acknowledgement from MS that they can even repro the problem
    (which surprises me considerably as there are so many people who
    notice the problem).
    Is anyone aware of whether MS (may) have fixed this for Win10?
    Are MS aware of the problem and if they're able to fix it?
    Dave - with many GB of duplicated files in File History :)

    Hmm, is that the attitude MS would recommend? :)
    Why would I care what Microsoft would recommend?
    Clearly you don't, and you appear to have missed my smiley. Calm down
    Noel, many of us are as annoyed by aspects of modern Windows as you
    are. :)
    I'm all about making Windows actually WORK/./
    Aren't we all? Windows is software I use too many hours every day, I
    along with many millions of others need it to work really well. You
    are not alone.
    When they implement something that doesn't work, and even if it did work doesn't do what's needed - and/beyond that/ they remove features people DO need (such as the GUI for Windows Backup), I see no wrong in advising people of the way things
    really are.
    File History essentially does work - it's saved me a couple of times
    in the past couple of weeks. It just has a highly annoying habit of
    creating 100% duplicates of some files for no apparent reason. If MS
    have fixed that I won't have any known complaints about it.
    If you don't like it, you don't have to use it. I generally like it, I
    just want to see that its fixed.

  • I need to download dell drivers to a jumpdrive connected to my iMac.  Will this cause problems with my Mac?

    I need to download dell drivers to a jumpdrive connected to my iMac.  Will this cause problems with my Mac?

    Thanks.  These drivers are for the audio, etc. for a dell laptop I purchased used.  ( Needed something cheap for a training video that would only run on Windows.  Tried Emedia player but picture was too fuzzy.)  Dell support said I should contact Apple support for instructions on how to get the drivers onto the jumpdrive.  Any tips on doing that?

  • My host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?

    my host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?

    There are several possible causes for this problem.
    1. Two (or more) computers on the local network have the same Bonjour name, such as "X's-MacBook-Pro.local".
    2. You have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
    3. A Mac wakes from sleep due to network traffic. This is due to a bug in OS X that may only affect some models.
    4. A device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
    5. A third-party wireless router has incompatible settings or firmware. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.
    6. See also this support article.
    Rename the computer in the Sharing preference pane.

  • WE + CE cause problem with accented characters

    While creating a CFF font which contains the WE as well as the CE character set, it causes problems with most of Adobe programs (Photoshop 7, Illustrator 10, Photoshop Elements 2.0) under Mac OS X. Problem: the accented characters get replaced by Helvetica (Photoshop) or Myriad (Illustrator). Only InDesign treats it right.
    I tested under Mac OS X 10.2 as well as 10.3; no difference. I tested on 'old machines', but fresh machines as well (machines which didn't have the fonts installed before); no difference. All the same problem.
    Deleting the CE characters solves the problem, but yeah, I want to create a CFF font which contains both character sets.
    Generating the font in FontLab or FDK doesn't make any difference.
    So, what's the solution? Sounds like a mystery.
    Bas

    Two comments:
    OpenType/CFF fonts should work to some degree on versions of Mac OS from 8.x on. "Some degree" means that pre-Mac OSX, you need ATM for them to work, and you only get the Roman char set. On Mac OSX, Unicode savvy apps will give you access to the entire charset, but at the moment only Adobe apps support any OpenType features.
    About your problem with CE charset: this is a known problem, and is still a mystery. Adam Twardoch has reported the same problem and has supplied some test fonts. I have spent over a day looking over the fonts, and looking into old code, and can't find any problem in the font data. Investigating further is likely to be a several day effort, and will happen, but not soon.

  • GEARAspiWDM.sys causes problems with PlexTools.

    The unsigned driver GEARAspiWDM.sys (to be precise: upper filter) that you installed on my system cause problems with my DVD recorders (Px-716A and PX-760A). First thing I notice is a longer responce time (delay). The big problem is that there are faults while trying to erase or burn DVD media (I mostly use rewritable disks). I love iTunes, but just keep in mind why using upper filters and/or unsigned drivers is a very-very bad idea! The least you can do is to ask the user if he/she wants to install this driver.
    I found my way to uninstall the driver manually. Later I found the uninstaller from Gear Software:
    http://www.gearsoftware.com/cfknowledgebase/articledisplay.cfm?articleid=295
    Now iTunes will alert me that it cannot burn disk on every startup. You know what? I don't care about this future! So don't bother me every startup!

    We know about the large file support issue (though this given version of it looks new to me) and work on it.
    There is no intent to set __GNUC__ for us, nor we recommend users to define __GNUC__ with our compiler.
    However we do have (another) solution for this issue and it will be available in one of the upcoming Sun Studio eXpress releases.

    Hi there
    Sorry for hijacking your thread as put by Dahveed. However I have resolved my issue so I thought I'll share it with the rest of you.
    I checked for the error 3194 in youtube and I found some good videos that tell you how to resolve the problem. The issue I was facing was the actually (I know because I have resolved it now) the communication between my computer and apple server which can be fixed as following (if you are using windows):
    There is file in following directory:
    C:\Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
    The file normally has no extension and it is in file format. You need to open it and make sure that every line that has apple server id starts with "#". In my case one of the line started directly with the ip address and then gs.apple.com.
    Perform your restore/update after that and hopefully it should be resolved (mine did).
    Cheers

  • My Mac is 15 months old and all of a sudden it has started resetting the time and date then I get a message saying not all apps will work because of the pre Jan date any help as to why ? Causing problems with wireless router.

    My Mac book pro is 15 months old and now suddenly it has started resetting the date and time, causing problems with applications and my wireless access. Any suggestions as to why this is happening and how to fix it?

    Seems the time isn't being saved to your computer correctly, it may be a corrupt file that isn't saving the time anymore.
    You can move the
    com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    file out of your Users/Library/Preferences folder to the desktop and reboot.
    then go to your System Preferences > Date and Time and set a time server close to your location (or in your time zone)
    (trash the file on the desktop if no ill issues occur later on)
    or you can follow/bookmark these support docs to reset your PRAM and SMC (and for future reference)

    I don't remember exactly where OS X is keeping it time settings now, but I think one of those choices should help resolve your issue and won't hurt anything giving them a shot. Perhaps someone else could refresh my memory.
