AD ignoring PoSiXGroup Permissions set on 10.4.11 Server

I have an Xserve running 10.4.11 which is joined to AD and uses the AD's kerberos for authentication / single sign-on. The file shares are hosted on a RAID volume connected to the Xserve. Groups are created in OD and populated with the AD users.
Problem i have is as follows. Around a week ago, AFP seemed to screw up and freeze the Xserve. End result was an attempted restart which locked, forced shut down and cold boot.
Since then, kerberos just seems to ignore any Group permissions that are set. Tried unbinding / rebinding server, deleting group, creating groups and shares from scratch, overwriting Kerberos config, checked that services are pointed to the right place etc.
Any suggestions?

Oops, wrong place - can a moderator please move? Ta

  • OS 10.4.11 FTP Permissions set to 640 on Upload

    I have a G4 in my classroom running OS 10.4.11 (not OS X Server) with Personal Web Sharing and FTP turned on. My students upload web pages to it over FTP. Whenever they upload a NEW file, permissions get set to 640 on the server. Of course this prevents anyone from browsing to the web pages, defeating the whole purpose. Permissions are set to 640 no matter the permissions of the original file, and no matter which FTP client I use. (I've tried Dreamweaver, FireFTp, and command line FTP in the Terminal.) In order for the web pages to be browsable, I have to go in and manually change permissions to something sensible like 644, which is impractical because there are 40 students constantly updating their web pages. If they upload a REPLACEMENT file, the permissions are not modified and everything is OK.
    Last year we were running OS 10.2, and there was a fix in which I set the ftp unmask by creating a file /etc/ftpd.conf which had one line saying:
    umask all 022
    But since upgrading to 10.4, I tried this fix and it no longer works.

    There's many ways to accomplish this, but I'd use Sharepoints...
    http://www.hornware.com/sharepoints/
    Set up a Normal Share, Give it the AFP/SMB Sharing you need, click on the Show File System Properties, set the Owner, Group, & Permissions, click on the inherit Permissions from Parent, Update Share.
    If that doesn't work there's always BatchMod to drop the whole Share on and change Permissions wholesale in one swoop.

  • File Receiver Adapter - writes empty message although ignore flag is set

    Hi,
    i have an file FTP receiver channel configured with content conversion. I also have set the "Empty-Message-Handling" flag to "Ignore", so empty messages with 0 kb are not written to the FTP server.
    My problem is now: empty file are written to FTP server although this flag is set to "Ignore".
    For example: A message with the following content arrives at my receiver adapter:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <ns0:MT_ArticleMaster xmlns:ns0="http://ihle.com/tyredating/core"></ns0:MT_ArticleMaster>
    The resulting file has 0kb.
    Does anyone have an idea why empty message are not getting ignored by this setting? Although the flag is set?
    Thanks in advance,
    MS

    ideally the file adapter will expect a message with no content in it. so i suggest you use a simple java mapping to check if there is any content between the tags, if there is no content then write out an empty string to the outputstream else pass the same inputstream out

  • Access denied for folder when permissions set with WMI

    Hi,
    When I add/modify access rights based on the Win32_ACE class, there seems to be a difference in the result, then when setting it with the GUI in Windows.
    The situation is as follow:
    I want to set Modify access on a remote folder, but also want to avoid deletion of the folder itself. This can easily be done by setting "deny delete on this folder only" in addition to "allow modify to this folder, files and subfolders".
    So far no issue.
    Now I notice that, although the GUI shows exactly the same result in advanced settings of the security property, the folder set with WMI script gives a deny when opening it with the user account. The same folder, set with the same security and result in
    the advanced tab, but set in the GUI, works fine.
    Note: The reason that I use WMI is because the remote system is a standalone machine, not sharing the same domain or trust.
    I compared the ACEFlags, AceType and AccessMask for both the GUI set and script set permissions, and they are exactly the same.
    GUI => AccessMask:1179817 AceType:0 iAceFlags:3
    Script => AccessMask:1179817 AceType:0 iAceFlags:3
    What a strange world we live in... :-)
    Any idea?

    What Operating System Interface are you referring?  What program?
    You are being obtuse. What is it that you are trying to compare. THe settings in WMI cannot be directly compared to anything in the Security Wizard.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
    Just the properties of the folder in Windows on the security tab. The result is the same for both the permissions set with the interface as well as the one set with the WMI script. The two references you see are just taken with WMI:
    Set by Windows interface => AccessMask:1179817 AceType:0 iAceFlags:3 
    Set by WMI script => AccessMask:1179817 AceType:0 iAceFlags:3
    This are the values "AceFlags", "AceType" and "AccessMask" from management class WIN32_ACE:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394063(v=vs.85).aspx
    I just want to show that the actual ACE object returns the same values for both methods, but the effect appear to be that the script set permission are denied. And I am looking for the reason why.
    Can you provide the script that you're using to create the ACE(s) and add them? If I'm understanding what you're trying to do, there should be two ACEs created: one to allow the modify access and one to deny the folder deletion. The ACE you're showing is just
    an allow ACE (AceType 0).
    That is correct there are (or should be) two ACEs. I cannot get hold on my source right now (will be later today), but my code is based on this source:
    http://www.minasi.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=7501
    What I basically do is getting the DACL properties, loop through it to check that the user exists that I want to update. If it does I check that the current AceType is of the same type (allow or deny) that I am updating/adding. If that type is a match, I
    replace the ACE object with the new Flag, Type and Mask using a Win32_ACE object. If type type doesn't match, then I add both the current ACE with the new ACE at the same time. I noticed that if I don't do it at the same time, only the last remains. If the
    user doesn't match I check that the AceFlags is not equal to 16 (inherit) and then add the original ACE object in the ACE array. At the end I add the new ACE if the user was not found at all (new). The array of individual ACE objects is added to List of managementobjects
    and then again linked to the DACL value.

  • Read all items when when item-level permissions set

    I have a SharePoint 2010 list where the general user population should be able to submit and read only their own items.
    Item-level permissions set as follows:
    Read access : Read items that were created by the user
    Creaed and Edit access : Create items and edit items that were created by the user
    That works fine.
    Now, I have a small group of power users that need read-access to all list items. I can do that by granting 'Contribute' permissions, but I don't want them to be able to modify items, so I prefer granting only read permissions. When I do that, they can't
    see all the items due to the item-level permission settings.
    Is there a permission level that I can use (perhaps a custom permission level) that enables a read-all (and overrides the item-level permission)?

    With these specific settings, there are not. It is possible to do security through obscurity by only showing views that allow the users to see their items and use audience targeting for the others, but that is not true security, so it will depend on your
    requirements.

  • What is factory default "Sharing & Permissions" setting for User folders?

    System:
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2
    MacBook Air (Mid 2011)
    Single User – Administrative Account
    Question:
    What is factory default “Sharing & Permissions” setting for User folders (Desktop, Downloads, Library, Movies, Music, Pictures, Public), subfolders, and documents and other contents?
    I’m thinking the factory default “Sharing & Permissions” for all of the above (except Drop Box in the Public folder) is as follows, but not certain.
    Name                          Privilege
    myusername (Me)    Read & Write
    staff                            Read only
    everyone                   Read only

    Are these also the settings on your Documents folder and the various files in the Documents folder?  Same question for your Library folder?
    Name                          Privilege
    myusername (Me)    Read & Write
    everyone                   No Access

  • Permissions re: Mount Volume/Connect to Server

    I wrote a simple little AppleScript to automate users' weekly email backup. the script gets triggered by the user's email client (Entourage)... Here's the script:
    tell application "Finder"
    mount volume "afp://SERVER.ADDRESS/USER BACKUP"
    duplicate folder "USER'S EMAIL FOLDER" of startup disk to folder "USER'S BACKUP FOLDER" of disk "USER BACKUP" with replacing
    end tell
    However, I've noticed that this script only works if I have the user's folder permissions set to "read and write" for everyone (I can't set individual user permissions to restrict access)
    How can I run this script in a way that will authenticate on the fly and then restrict access accordingly?
      Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Mount volume doesn't have to go through the finder AFAIK. Also, I'd put the username and password in the applescript.
    mount volume "afp://username:[email protected]/somemountpoint"
    Or if you don't want to put the u/name and password, write a script that prompts for them.
    HTH
    edit: but I think you're right going through the finder, otherwise your your duplicate command would probably not work. It would have to be "do shell script cp blah blah" or "do shell script ditto -rsrcFork blah blah"

  • How do I set up a local testing server?

    Hey again everyone. I am trying to figure out how to set up a local testing server. I've read a couple different tutorials online and i still can't figure it out. I added a new server, named it test server, I'm connecting using local/network, my server folder is C:\Users\Jake\Website\testfolder, and my web URL is http://localhost/. My server model is PHP/MySQL.
    My site's root folder is C:\Users\Jake\Website\. I have also downloaded XXAMP. It downloaded and that was it though, I'm not sure if I need to apply it somehow to Dreamweaver. When I try to preview my pages I get a message that asks me if I want to update copy on testing server. If I choose yes, another message comes up and asks me if I want to put dependent files. Whether I choose yes or no it just says IE cannot display the web page.
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    Site Name: PHP Test Site
    Local Site Folder: C:\xampp\htdocs\php_test\
    Server Name: Local Testing
    Connect Using: Local/Network
    Server Folder: C:\xampp\htdocs\php_test
    Default Images Folder: C:\xampp\htdocs\php_test\Images\
    Web URL: http://localhost/php_test/Server Model: PHP MySQL
    Is that everything you need to know? Note that I do not have a remote testing site set up yet.

  • Error when installing 9.0.1.4.0 patch set for the Oracle Database Server.

    Hi to all.
    Currently, i am trying to install patches for portal server.
    The server OS is Sun Solaris 8.
    We are using Oracle9iAS.
    Now, we are installing 9.0.1.4.0 patch set for the Oracle Database Server.
    We managed to install the patch, but have problem with the Post Install Action.
    We managed to run
    -ALTER SYSTEM ENABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;

    -ALTER SYSTEM DISABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
    -CONNECT / AS SYSDBA
    -update obj$ set status=5 where type#=29 and owner#!=0;
    -commit;
    But, when we come to the next command, which is to shutdown, it gives us like
    this..
    SQL> update obj$ set status=5 where type#=29 and owner#!=0;
    1402 rows updated.

    I been informed that this is maybe a Database problem related. Any ideas?

    Blank out/remove all of the categories you have configured in ConfigMgr on the Software Update Point. Then run a full synchronization from the console. This will synch up all available categories without trying to subscribe to any. Then, you can go back
    re-select the categories that want (after the full synch completes) and perform another full synch.
    Right now, you are trying to subscribe to a category that doesn't exist.

  • Setting up local web test server

    Hi All,
    Apologies if this should go in installation and setup but here goes.
    Running 10.3.9.
    Httpd running
    MySQL server running
    PHP enabled
    I'm trying to set up a local testing server on my G4 powerbook so I can do my mods and just occasionally ftp up the code, say, once a week.
    I've started personal web sharing and can access my local site's index page ok (i.e. http://mymachine.local/~me/website/ ). That's all fine.
    But I've installed the oscommerce app under my web directory and unless I have a connection toi the net then it just doesn't want to know.
    So calling up " http://mymachine/local/~me/website/catalog/index " gives me a nothing if I don't have an internet connection.
    I think I have set everything up as I should to have a local testing server for web apps :- Personal web sharing enabled, MySQL sorted, PHP sorted.
    Does anyone know what I might need to do further or perhaps point me in the right direction?
    Much appreciated.

    Try using http://localhost/local/~me/website/catalog/index . It may be that your original link doesn't work because your machine is trying to look up the IP-address of "mymachine" using DNS, and that won't work if you're off-line; "localhost" is a synonym for "127.0.0.1", which is the "loopback address" -- it always means your own machine. No DNS lookup required, no real network interface required, so it should work whether you're on-line or not.

  • (Request for:) Best practices for setting up a new Windows Server 2012 r2 Hyper-V Virtualized AD DC

    Could you please share your best practices for setting up a new Windows Server 2012 r2 Hyper-V Virtualized AD DC, that will be running on a new WinSrv 2012 r2 host server.   (This
    will be for a brand new network setup, new forest, domain, etc.)
    Specifically, your best practices regarding:
    the sizing of non virtual and virtual volumes/partitions/drives,  
    the use of sysvol, logs, & data volumes/drives on hosts & guests,
    RAID levels for the host and the guest(s),  
    IDE vs SCSI and drivers both non virtual and virtual and the booting there of,  
    disk caching settings on both host and guests.  
    Thanks so much for any information you can share.

    A bit of non essential additional info:
    We are small to midrange school district who, after close to 20 years on Novell networks, have decided to design and create a new Microsoft network and migrate all of our data and services
    over to the new infrastructure .   We are planning on rolling out 2012 r2 servers with as much Hyper-v virtualization as possible.
    During the last few weeks we have been able to find most of the information we need to undergo this project, and most of the information was pretty solid with little ambiguity, except for
    information regarding virtualizing the DCs, which as been a bit inconsistent.
    Yes, we have read all the documents that most of these posts tend point to, but found some, if not most are still are referring to performing this under Srvr 2008 r2, and haven’t really
    seen all that much on Srvr2012 r2.
    We have read these and others:
    Introduction to Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) Virtualization (Level 100), 
    Virtualized Domain Controller Technical Reference (Level 300),
    Virtualized Domain Controller Cloning Test Guidance for Application Vendors,
    Support for using Hyper-V Replica for virtualized domain controllers.
    Again, thanks for any information, best practices, cookie cutter or otherwise that you can share.
    Chas.
