ACL permission problems with Dovecot

Since moving to snow leopard, I have been having problems with ACL....I get the following repeated error in the system log...

I have gone into the file sharing tab and tried to propagate the ACL permission for user test euid=1030, but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas on how to debug this?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance

OK: It's your external disk:
1 check with the finder in Data HD3 Info whether Ignore ownership on this volume isn't checked
2 check in /var/spool/imap/dovecot/mail/xxxxx what the permissions are on folders you find there
3 assign the same permissions on the dedicated folders on Data HD3
worked for me...

Permission problems with external hard drive

Hello there, I'm writting you from Paris but my french is just not good enough to really explain my problem. I'm no computer expert so i might not use the right name for stuff but i will try to be as clear as possible.
I have a macbook pro 13" from early 2012 and I'm currently running Mountain lion.
At home i use an internet modem that has an internal hard drive of 250gb. and it also gives you the possibility to conect other usb hard drives on it so you can access them through wifi.
I currently have to usb hd of 1tb each, one i use it for Time Machine and so far it works fine and i haven't had a problem with it, all back ups have been done ok. In the other one i have all my films and tv shows and stuff like that and it is in this one that i have the problem. In certen files and folders i'm not able to do anything with them, i tried to rename them but it says i don't have the permission to do it, i tried to delet another one and it said pretty much the same thing, some other time i tried to move the file to a diferent folder it it would ask me for my password and after type it and press enter it would just not move them, no error messager or anything it just didn't do it. Most of the times i have a messager saying stuff about permission or things like i can't read the file. The thing i can't understand is that as soon as i plug the HD on my mac it works fine i can rename and change stuff, I noticed that some of the files and folders have a little lock on the corner, but they aren't the ones i tried to move or rename before and i tried already unlocking all of them but eventhough i manage to unlock them when i plug the HD back to the modem it keeps the same, can't rename or move, not even to the trash.
Can anyone help me out here? I'll be really thankful
Cheers!

Permission problems with command line CVS and Java CVS App

Greetings,
I'm part of a moderately sized website development team which recently upgraded to MacBook Pros (dual core) running OS 10.4.9. One of the primary tools we use in our day to day work is the open source concurrent versioning system (CVS). We've noticed a distressing issue running CVS on our macbook pros: there seems to be a problem with the way these new machines handle permissions on the directories/files that CVS uses to manage files.
The error occurs when the CVS application, in this case both command line CVS and GUI CVS application named SmartCVS, tries to rename a temporary file named Entries~ to its new name Entries (no ~). It looks like this:
java.io.IOException: Could not rename file
/Users/[USER]/Sites/[MODULE]/lib/CVS/Entries~ to
/Users/[USER]/Sites/[MODULE]/lib/CVS/Entries
at smartcvs.JP.a(SourceFile:125)
at smartcvs.JP.a(SourceFile:113)
We've noticed that if we open up a get info window on the directory we're downloading, and choose "Apply to enclosed items" right when we start the download process, the issue will be resolved, presumably because the permissions are being set on the subdirectories as the download is taking place.
We've checked the permissions on the overall ~/Sites/ directory numerous times, and they always seem to be set correctly as drwxr-xr-x. It's within this folder that CVS creates a directory with the CVS module name and downloads all the contained files, so we don't see why it would be having issues completing this successfully. We also checked to ensure the GUI CVS application is running under the current user on the machine: it does.
Has anyone run into issues like this in the past? Is there more information I could provide to further clarify the problem we're having?
Thanks for any input you have!

Thanks for asking Jeff, yes one place we are seeing this error is Java application SmartCVS, though the results posted here are from a normal command line CVS checkout.

Permission Problems with Installer

Whenever I try to install something from the Internet, I have to go through the Installer process. Basically it asks you to Agree to the Terms & Conditions, then choose the Disk Destination, and then enter your Account Password to authorize the installation.
However at the authorization process, even when I enter the password, I am still brought back to the screen where I need to click a button to enter my password again. This process keeps looping as if the Installer never received my password, thus I can never install anything from the web! In fact, this also happens in my Settings & Preferences, whereby I need to click the little 'Lock' icon on the bottom left in order to change the settings. But when I click and type in my password to "Unlock", it simply doesn't respond and keeps locked. I believe this is the same issue on Permissions or whatsoever however this is my only account and I have the 'Administrator' rights in Accounts. So whenever I install something with the Installer, there comes with an Installer Log, I saved it and pasted a copy of it here. Can anybody tell me what is wrong, and what can I do to adjust/correct/rectify this so that I can install properly again? It seems like the line, "... authorization level is NoAuthorization but was promoted to RootAuthorization for compatibility, ensure authorization level is sufficient to install." is preventing me from installing, but I don't know what it means and how to solve it. Also I have already tried Disk Repair and Permissions Repair, it just says the disk is fine.
Please help me! Thank you very much!
EDIT: Sibelius is just the program that I wanted to install. Other programs also can't be installed which is very weird...

Cdrecord permission problems with k3b

when trying to write cds and dvds i get the following error:
for some reason cdrecord has no permissions to the device with my user.
my user is member of optical. i also tried:
- burning group
- older cdrkit package
- older udev and udev-compat packages
- k3b-git from aur
with no luck.
I have to mention that i never had any problems with cd/dvd writing and i believe that it has to do with some of the latest updates.
Any idea?

today i tested k3b in a simular arch installation in my lenovo r61 laptop and there is no problem at all.
It seems that the problem is machine/installation dependable.
@Mr Green
Yes the device is the right one.
I will try cdrecord from command line and post here the results.

Permission Problem with Group Drop Box in Dock

I THOUGHT I created write-only drop boxes for my students on their docks. They're able to drop their documents into it correctly, however, they can also open the group folder and see each others' folders by double clicking on it. I thought I had locked this down by setting the student permission to read-only in Sharing. How do I make the drop box write-only? I'm using OS X.3.9 Server.
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Having the exact same problem here with MAC NFS server running Tiger. Mac clients work fine, but same user on a Linux NFS client ignores group permissions.

Problems with Dovecot

Hello there,
i dont know why, but for some reason im no longer able to Setup an blank dovecot...
I did the following
* Installed Dovecot
* Copied the example config files
* configured protocols in dovecot.conf
* configured ssl certificates in conf.d/10-ssl.conf
* configured conf.d/10-auth.conf to disable plaintext and enable auth_mechanism plain and Login
* configured conf.d/10-mail.conf to tell dovecot where the inbox is and where to store the mailboxes
* created /etc/pam.d/dovecot with needed Content
* started dovecot
Dovecot starts fine and works, when i configure the Server in Evolution, it works too and can read the inbox.
When i use the identical credentials in Thunderbird, he complains about that username/Password is wrong.
In the dovecot logs i see
imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=192.168.1.101, lip=192.168.1.106, session=<BLABLABLA>

Same here since last rouncube update.
I think is something related to self-signed certificates and SSL connection.
Edit: Did you see these post? This fix my problem.
Edit 2: Care, roundcube updates seems to overwrite /etc/webapps/roundcubemail/config/default.inc.php

Permission problem with Photoshop Elements 4???

I am running PE 4 on an Intel based imac and on a g4. Works great on the g4, but not so good on the imac. Most of the functions work, but things like web album creation, photomontage... things that can be initiated via Bridge, as well as within PE, don't. I get an error message each time. I spent an hour with Adobe on the phone and they had me set it up under a new user and it worked fine, but not in my user profile. Adobe says it is a permissions problem. I have used Onyx and the utilities to do maintenance and repair/check permissions, done a clean install and what not. I have nearly 12,000 photos and I am not really sure what is involved in switching over completely to a new user, but the thought alone is daunting. Any idea how I should approach this?

Create a new folder on the desktop, and then click on the item in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon. Move four of the folders inside other than the folder named Desktop inside to the newly-created folder; when this has been done, try one of the functions again and see if it works. Next, either move two of the folders that were in the folder back or move two additional ones into the folder depending on whether or not it worked. Continue the process of moving half of the items to the folder until you've isolated what is causing the problem or you've run out of items; if you run out of items, look at the contents of the /Library/Caches/ folder next. If you find out what is causing the problem, post back with that item's name and location.

Permission problems with my Drobo 5N and iTunes library

Hi I have my iTunes library located on my Drobo 5N. My problem is when I try to access it from my other Macs I get an error saying it is on a locked disk. I attempted to check permissions from finder nod the Drobo iTunes folder and it indicates owner unknown and no access for everyone else. There is no little lock at the bottom where I can go in and try to fix it.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks
Herbert

Ok, I have encountered this problem also.   Not only with iTunes librabry, but also with my iPhotos library.   I'm not certain what the cause is, yet here is how I have been able to resolve my problem:
1.     Shutdown/quit all applications from all machines (including any mobile device) on the network that access files the drobo 5N.
2.     Properly power down the drobo 5N as instructed by drobo instructions.
3.     Property power down the router and then restart it again after a few seconds of waiting.
4.     Once the router is fully up and running, check your wifi network connection to your PC or Mac first.
5.     Then power up your drobo 5N.
6.     Once the drobo 5N is fully powered up, try accessing your iTunes library file again from one machine.
Please note: I recommend that you do not attempt to access the iTunes library file residing on the drobo from multiple machines at the same time. I believe that you would need an "iTunes Server" for this capability to be available. The drobo 5N does not offer an "iTunes Server" app at this time.
Let me know how it goes.

Permission Problems with Leopard & Time Machine are ridiculous!

I just had a hard drive die in a MacBook. I installed a new drive and restored from TM.
Only to find out I have absolutely no ownership to anything in my home directory.
System & Admin -r/w, everyone r --- no where is my id mentioned as having ANY r/w access.
Leopard has been a disaster on 2 out of 3 Macs I've installed it on.
If I wanted this kind of crap I'd use Windows full time.

You'll need to reset permissions on your home directory. Follow these steps:
1) Boot from your Leopard install CD/DVD (insert it, shut down, start while holding "C")
2) Choose your language.
3) When the menubar appears, select Utilities>Reset Password.
4) In the window that appears, select your boot volume (by default, "Macintosh HD") from the list at the top.
5) In the popup menu below the volume list, select an affected user. (One that you used "Apply to enclosed items" on).
6) Click the "Reset" button at the bottom of the window. This will reset the permissions (and ACLs) back to their default settings.
7) Repeat Steps 5 & 6 for every user on your machine who has this problem (except "System Administrator (Root)").
There is one bug in this process, so you need to take some additional steps to get permissions back to how they should be.
8) Log in to an account you reset the permissions for.
9) Open Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
10) Copy the blue text in, and press "return". chgrp -R `id -gn` ~
11) You won't see anything happen, but you can check that it worked by selecting your home folder, and clicking File>Get Info. You will see either "unknown" or "staff" under "Sharing and Permissions", depending on how you installed Leopard. Either one is fine.
12) Repeat the steps 8-11 for every account that you reset permissions for on your machine. (Remember, NOT "System Administrator (Root)").
Good luck!

Permissioning problems with TimeCapsule AFP share and multiple users

Hi,
I am currently sharing my TimeCapsule filesystem (guest perms) as AFP, I have it automounting via automounter. Problem is that whoever hit's the automounter dir first is marked as the owner of all the shared files, other users then cannot delete/modify them (i want the share completely world read/writeable). The mount_afp command does not seem to support the relevant fmask/dmask params that mount_nfs does (which would cause the mount to be mounted with consistent ownership.)
So..
1. I presume NFS is not supported (boo!)
2. Does anyone else have this working? I would imagine that I should also be able to get this working through group permissions, but for the same reason i cannot force automounter to mount the filesystem with the user/group ownership I want.
thoughts?suggestions?
Thanks
Liam
P.S. I could also try SMB but playing movies on Frontrow off a networked SMB filesystem is usually poor (compared to NFS anyway)

Yes, you can turn off photos in icloud. (settings - icloud- photos)
You can also allow users to use their own apple id's for imessages and facetime. Unlike icloud those can be changed any time, so that does not present security problem. Settings -messages and settings- facetime.
If you dead set on using same apple id, you can make sure that every user only has their phone number checked in messages, so everyone has to go to settings- messages- send and receive and uncheck apple id.

Permission Problem with Windows 2003 Share

Hi There,
I have just installed a new 750GB removable drive on our Windows 2003 R2 file server so our "mac" team can copy old data to it. The drive is formated in NTFS and previously used to do exactly the same to a 250gb drive without any issues.
Now when we go to copy a file to the "new" drive we get the "Operation cannot be performed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of these items" error. I have searched hi and low for a solution but I cannot find anything that rectifies the problem.
We have MAC's that run both OSX 10.5 and 10.4 but we get the same problem on both.
Anyone been able to solve this before?
Thanks in advance.
Nick

Are you sure you applied the proper policy(ies) to the share on Win server?
Also if youre sharing it out over AFP as opposed to SMB there is a special property that makes it read only. If you right click on the SFM volume and go to properties youll see a check box near the bottom of the pane that makes the share read-only by default.

Connection / Permission Problems with PI System to Solman

I have 3 PI Systems (7.4) who are connection to a Solman 7.1. The abap solman connection/configuration works fine.

But abap user have SAP_ALL, SAP_NEW and SAP_S_RFCACL permission. Java User are j2ee_admin and have also the SAP_S_RFC_ACL permission.
If I check the connection in the systemparameter assistant, get the error:
Fehler Action failed : No Diagnostics Agent is currently available for system BPT. Therefore the preliminary look-up of the Managed Java Message Server information (XXX.XXX:3600) via the Agent is not possible.
But Diagnostic Agent status is green ? Very strange !
Have anybody a solution ? Thanks for your help !

Customer open the Message Server Port 3901, telnet works.

Back End Permission Problem

Hi everyone,
We encounter permission problems with our Visual Composer Applications.
We have created three applications using the visual composer and accessing a BI-system as backend
But the developer has super_user permissions and we dont want our endusers to have them.
Therefor we created new roles only with the permission to see that specific report.
But now, the users are not allwoed to see the data.
The error says, that I should ckeck the permissions.
Well, I did. The user can execute the queries I used directly with BEx - no problem, but within the VC-application not.
So I assume the problem are permissions in the portal.
If I give the user super_user permissions it works, but thats not what I want.
I want the user having minimal permissions in the portal.
Is there somebody who can help me?
Sincerely
Mark

Hi
Your problem looks like portal authorization issue. There is separate role for 'End Users' to execute & view the portal iview. Just check with your EP administrator, he will solve the problem. There will be role like -
*VC_Role.
*eu_Role.

A few problems with IMAP on N78

Hello,
I'm the owner of a Nokia N78 and i'm trying to read my email using IMAP over TLS. It partially works, but I encounter several problems.
The mail server is a dedicated server I run with some friends. It runs Dovecot as an IMAP server, and it uses the Maildir scheme for mail storage. I also sort my mail using many subdirectories. The overall setup works well, I've been reading and managing that mail account using IMAP with Thunderbird for years.
I configured the phone to use my mail account, and it connects to the server and download headers from the inbox without any problem. The two problems I encounter are the following :
- Reading messages is abnormally complicated. When I want to read a message from the inbox which is not downloaded yet, the software asks me if i want to download it, i accept, it connects to the mail server, downloads the message, and displays... a blank screen showing only the "Subject:" word, as if the mail was totally empty. When i go back to the message list, the message I was trying to read has disappeared. I must then connect again to the mail server (using "Options > Connect") to make the message appear again (and marked as downloaded) in the list, and only then can I read it.
- I can't access the other directories. The phone manages to list them, I can see them in Retrieval settings > Folder subscriptions, I can subscribe to some of them and they appear in the list with the Inbox, but when i navigate inside them they are always empty. Options > Connect and Options > Download mail > All don't do anything.
I searched the web and this forum but I found nobody with a similar problem. I tried it many times with many different connections (UMTS, GPRS/EDGE, several wifi networks). I have no problem sending mail (through SMTP/StartTLS) using the same application and the same server. The phone's firmware is up to date.

hello,
I never tried to connect to a dovecot server but I do use N78 to connect via IMAP to Gmail on a standard, not secure, connection. I usually retrieve only the headers for the Inbox then I decide if I want to retrieve the message and then I ask for the attachments. So I guess the 3 steps approach to the email is correct, usually you do it with the same connection open but it could happen that the remote server is closing the connection and so the phone is bringing down the interface for packet data connection.
I mean nothing strange in the 3 stage retrieval, the disconnect could be some problem with dovecot.
The rest looks really weird, maybe I will try to subscribe to different folders and see what happens.
