Am I backscattering?  and non mail user accounts having mail received.

10.6.4 Server fresh install on a new Mac Pro. I have configured our mail server using only Server Admin. Junk mail is set to be redirected to the junkmail account and not bounced.
FIRST ISSUE - am I backscattering? In looking at the logs I see what looks to me like attempts by our server to notify a presumably forged sender that their message was being turned down by our server. The log listing below for 1 message as an example uses the term bounced once each for the destined user (who is set NOT to receive mail in WGM) and our postmaster account.
I am seeing lists of delayed items in the mail queue in Server Admin > Mail > Maintenance > Mail Queue. All of those messages are going from the Mailer-daemon to the presumably forged FROM: address of items delivered to our junkmail account.
SECOND ISSUE : The requested user in this example does not exist as an email recipient on the server. Shouldn't the message be refused outright? These messages are being accepted by the server and Server Admin > Mail > Maintenance > Accounts keeps showing mail accounts for the user here and another user that are the server is not accepting mail for. If I delete the account in Server Admin window above, they return again within a day or so. Ideas?
Thanks for looking at this.

  • Setting previleges to a non-root user account to access ports

    Hello ,
    I am tring to do an icmp-ping to a machine in the network from an application by connecting to icmp port through a raw socket.
    My question is i am able to connect to icmp port using raw socket only in root user account. But my application should run under a non root user account and do the ping for me.
    1)How do i set previleges to a particular user to access icmp port?
    I am running the application on solaris 9
    2)I read a paper on net saying ports from 0 to 1024 can only be accessed by a root user account?
    Why is this and what can be done for a non-root user account to access these ports.
    3) Is this possible in solaris 9.
    Thanks in Advance,
    cheers,
    pal

    There is only one solution: create a new Standard user account and set it as your auto login account, if you use that feature.
    Using what you describe is mostly a false sense of security. Were someone to hack into the computer they could hack into the standard account, so you would not wish to keep any sensitive data in that account. Other things to consider:
    Turn on your Firewall in Security & Privacy preference panel.
    Use software to mask your online presence such as ProxyCap 2.03, MacProxy, Proxifier, or Hotspot Shield.

  • Help-I want to move my stuff out of admin user account to a non-admin user account for security.  How can this be done?

    So... I have amassed loads of documents, videos, music, photos, etc. onto my MacBook Pro all under the admin user account I set up for myself.  I am the only one who uses the MacBook.  I now work virtually and am online at different free wifi spots, and I want to access all of my stuff under a non-admin user account for security reasons.
    I attempted to uncheck the "allow this user to administer this computer" box under my admin user account, but it is greyed out and I cannot.
    Is there an easier way to fix this than backing up all of my stuff and then moving it to a non-admin account?

    delete the previous administrator and make a user account for myself on my iMac G4

    Open the Accounts pane of System Preferences, create the new account, log in with it, and delete the existing one. If the computer's one you've recently purchased, you may want to erase the drive and install a new OS; do this only if you have the computer's original disks or a retail package compatible with it.

    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

    My last Time Machine back-up is 45 days old and only of User Account files (not entire HD) and I must now reinstall Lion (via internet) without  performing a new back-up. Will any new User Account files, since my last back-up, be lost when Lion reinstalls ?

    Reinstalling OS X doesn't affect user data, provided nothing goes wrong. But it would be very unwise to assume that nothing will go wrong, especially if you're having (unspecified) system issues. You should try to back up all data before you reinstall or do anything else. There are ways to do that, even if you're unable to boot.
    If your backups include only user files, you won't be able to access them in Setup Assistant.

  • How can I unlock the copy protection of songs that I've acquired some years ago with an old - and non existing anymore - account? Can I link the songs to my new account or do I have to purchase them again?

    How can I unlock the copy protection of songs that I've acquired some years ago with an old - and non existing anymore - account? Can I link the songs to my new account or do I have to purchase them again?

    If you're in the US, you will be able to use iTunes Match for $25 a year to remove copy protection in a few months: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
    If you're not, you can't.  You can authorise iTunes with the old account in addition to your current account, so all your songs will play, but I'm not sure what will happen if you try to sync them to an iPod.

  • Delegated Admin and non-flat user/group structures

    Hello, I am trying to build a directory structure with several containers under an organization used to store different portions of userdata and group data (i.e. not only ou=people and ou=group, but also a few ou's like them). Server software is from OUCS 7u2 release. Users in "other" containers are populated into LDAP (ODSEE 11) by replication, filling in all the same attributes as a freshly DA-created account has.
    The Delegated Admin interface and other parts of the software accept this and work okay with this setup, displaying user information, allowing logins and so on - except for attempts to edit user accounts in the alternate containers in the DA (i.e. add/remove service packages, change quotas, etc.). First I've verified that this is not an LDAP problem - I can use both command-line ldapmodify and an LDAPBrowser GUI to edit the entries with no hiccups.
    I tracked that when trying to save account information for accounts in non-standard containers, the DA still tries to use a hard-coded path (i.e. uid=USERNAME,ou=people,o=DOMAINNAME,dc=DOMAIN,dc=NAME) despite the fact that the user account is (and DA displayed it from) uid=USERNAME,ou=morePeople,o=DOMAINNAME,dc=DOMAIN,dc=NAME.
    Possibly, this "hardcoding" stems from DA configuration in WEB-INF/classes/sun/comm/cli/server/servlet/serverconfig.properties which does list components of the LDAP structure:
    # Ldap configuration.
    # List of ldap hosts. Form is <ldaphost>:<portnumber>. (Default port = 389)
    # add additional hosts with ldaphost-<consecutive number>
    # Schema type is either "1" or "2".
    # Reconnect interval is in seconds
    # Group and people container is dn from organization dn (e.g ou=people)
    ldaphost-1=oucsldap01:389
    ldaphost-2=oucsldap02:389
    ldaphost-suffix=dc=DOMAIN,dc=NAME
    ldaphost-dcsuffix=dc=DOMAIN,dc=NAME
    ldaphost-maxcount=50
    ldaphost-schematype=2
    ldaphost-reconnectinterval=60
    ldaphost-peoplecontainer=ou=People
    ldaphost-groupcontainer=ou=Groups
    ldaphost-orgadminrole=cn=Organization Admin Role
    While the organization root dn is not explicit here (and shouldn't be), the default people container is... I might guess a coding error logic like this: indeed, the "ou=People" container should be used by default when creating a user via DA; as a likely error, it might also be used when editing existing users - instead of their existing full DN/parent DN.
    Questions:
    1) Does anyone have a working configuration with several user/group containers within an organization like this? Would you care to share details and workarounds, if were needed?
    2) I think that possibly the "shared domain/organization hosting" mode might help here - at least it is expected to have several LDAP trees with their delegated administrators performing as a single e-mail domain. Before I go and reconfigure everything, I'd love to hear if there are any success stories with this route? Is it a proper solution (or THE solution) for such config?
    Thanks,
    //Jim Klimov

    I wanted to follow up that reconfiguring the directory structure according to shared domain hosting, with branches for ISW-synchronized accounts as one of the sub-organizations which share the domain, and manually created OUCS-only accounts being in another sub-organization. This works for both messaging components and the DA, as long as UIDs are in ou=People in their organization. Somewhat unfortunately, ISW config seems to allow only one DSEE target branch and puts groups (CN) there as well. Well, for our needs to edit user attributes and service packages via DA, this suffices. Sometimes there are hiccups (Can not save changes), but they are intermittent and harder to trace debug; usually go away with restart of the DA web container. The DSEE LDAP instances are configured with plugins to enforce uid uniqueness across the organization and uniqueness of values of messaging email address attributes (mail, mailAlternateAddress, mailEqiuvalentAddress) to avoid mixups between user accounts in different branches.
    Also, we had a problem with Calendar server after migrating the LDAP entries: since our deployment used the nsUniqueID for calendar user identification, relocation of entries (the way we did it) generated new values for new entries and users got new empty caledar databases. On this POC this was not a major problem, and newer OUCS releases with a davUniqueID attribute should specifically be immune to this problem. However, for others trodding this path I can suggest that they export the LDAP database into LDIF including the unique IDs, recreate the suffixes as needed (the ISW target organization in DSEE should be a separate LDAP database suffix), change the LDIF entry pathnames, and import the LDIF anew. This would wipe old LDAP data and should add old nsUniqueIDs to relocated entries (unlike recreation via ldapadd or relocation via ldapmodrdn).
    We have also hit a problem with DA refusing to render the list of accounts (returning 0 or 25 empty entries in a table). The LDAP logs showed that on the LDAP side all is ok, and expected amount of replies was located. Pattern searches often produced the proper table with a subset of users in DA. Ultimately, we linked the problem to ISW binary base64-encoded attributes (dspswuserlink et al; some of those values also garbaged output of commadmin queries in a terminal) and created an LDAP ACI which forbade our DA-admin user to read,search,compare these attributes. This solved the problem for us. I wonder if a more generic solution is possible, so as to apply this ACI not to an explicitly named admin user but to any users with DA admin privileges (by group or role? which string, to cover them all in advance)? Or, perhaps, nobody except the ISW user account should see these ISW attributes?
    Hope this report helps others who would try to pioneer this path of messaging integration

  • Non-Admin User Account Desktop is all messed up..graphically...HELP!

    This issue is difficult to explain, but here it goes...
    I have 2 users (desktops) setup on Lion.  My primarydesktop is the Admin account and my wife has her own (for her iTunes,mail, etc.).  Until just recently, I could switch between users easilyand stuff worked properly.  However, lately I switch to my wife's useraccount and everything is jacked up.  The icons and dock are both big& blocky and whenever I click on an icon it disfigures thewallpaper.  Also, the wallpaper image is also messed up.
    Itjust started doing this so not sure what happened or what I can do tofix it.  Is it possible to nuke her desktop/user acct and start freshwithout messing up mine?  Or do I have to do the entire machine andrestore from Time Machine?
    Totally perplexed by this one.
    Thanks!
    Bryan

    There is only one solution: create a new Standard user account and set it as your auto login account, if you use that feature.
    Using what you describe is mostly a false sense of security. Were someone to hack into the computer they could hack into the standard account, so you would not wish to keep any sensitive data in that account. Other things to consider:
    Turn on your Firewall in Security & Privacy preference panel.
    Use software to mask your online presence such as ProxyCap 2.03, MacProxy, Proxifier, or Hotspot Shield.

  • "Unable to check revocation" error while checking CDP from non-domain user account

    Hi!
    I use 3-tier PKI infrastructure:
    Stand-alone offline Root CA: RootCA;
    Stand-alone offline Intermediate subordinate CA: SubCA;
    Enterprise CA: EntSubCA.
    In certificate we have three CDP point for CRL check:
    ldap:///, http:// and file://
    I have Windows 2008 R2 server joined to domain.
    I use command certutil –verify –urlfetch <filename.cer> >check.txt for revocation checking of certificate.
    When I use domain user account for revocation checking, all OK.
    I have access to any CDP and all fine.
    But when i use local server user account, I haven't access to ldap:/// and process failed although all other links is OK.
    My question is "why check fail with non-domain user accout while other CDP point succesfully verifed"?
    Here is the logfile from local user:

    What you have discovered is the reason to *not* use LDAP URLs for CDP and AIA extensions in your PKI. To access those URLs, the account must access to the URLs. In your output, it is quite clear that the local account does not have necessary permissions
    (you also use FILE URLs for publication, which again is not recommended).
    The best practice is to use a single URL for the CDP extension. It should be an HTTP URL that is hosted on a highly available (internally and externally accessible) Web cluster.
    For the AIA extension, it should contain two URLs: one for the CA certificate - again to an internally and externally accessible, highly available Web cluster and one for the OCSP service - also
    an internally and externally accessible, highly available Web cluster.
    the other issue is that the root CA is *not* trusted when run by a non-domain account. How are you adding the trusted root CA. It is recommended to do this by running
    certutil -dspublish -f RootCA.crt.
    This will ensure that the computer account trusts the root CA. In your output, the root CA certificate is not trusted.

  • Is there any way to prevent non-admin user accounts to receive software update prompts?

    I am the admin account user on our MacBook Pro, and there is one standard user account on it as well. Generally we are both logged on so we can quickly switch between user accounts and 'spin the desktop'.
    For some reason, all the software update notifications seem to be received when the standard user account is the active one.
    I know that the standard user cannot actually update without my account password and my Apple ID, but a) The notifications confuse the non-admin user, and she gets flustered, and b) Even if she manages to cancel them from the notification area, she then has to remember to tell me verbally that she had had one.
    Is there any way to stop her receiving the update notifications altogether?

    Thanks in advance.

    You should be able to do this by unchecking the software update service in the system preferences to prevent the system from running the check as the "_softwareupate" user and passing it to the notification service that broadcasts to all user accounts. Then you can check for the software update in an admin account using the following Terminal line:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/Software Update.app/Contents/Resources/SoftwareUpdateCheck -Check YES
    This line can be scripted via Terminal services to run on a schedule (ie, every few hours), and if there are found updates it will launch the App Store for that account and present them. Granted this approach circumvents the notification service, but should work. To try this, open TextEdit on your computer and in a new document choose "Make Plain Text" from the Format menu.
    Then copy and paste the following text into the new document:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
              <key>Label</key>
              <string>local.softwareupdatecheck</string>
              <key>ProgramArguments</key>
              <array>
                        <string>/System/Library/CoreServices/Software Update.app/Contents/Resources/SoftwareUpdateCheck</string>
                        <string>-Check</string>
                        <string>YES</string>
              </array>
              <key>StartInterval</key>
              <integer>21600</integer>
    </dict>
    </plist>
    When done, save the document to your desktop as "softwareupdatecheck.plist" or anything as long as it ends with ".plist." Then get information on the file in the Finder to ensure its name ends with plist and not anything else like "plist.txt" (rename it accordingly in the Info window's "Name & Extension" section.
    With the file name appropriate, hold the Option key and choose the "Library" option in the Finder's "Go" menu. Then locate the folder called "Launch Agents" in the library and drag the text file to this folder. Then log out and log back into your account.
    This text file is a launch agent script that instructs the system to run the program arguments every 21600 seconds (6 hours) whenever the user is logged in. The program arguments here are simply those to check for software updates for the system. You can change this time interval to be any number of seconds you would like, but there are other options to use besides the "StartInterval" key for scheduling the task. This approach simply has it repeat every number of seconds, but you can use other options to have it only run on specific hours or days, or only have it run once when you log in, etc.
    If this works for you, then if you'd like to explore these other options write back here and we can go over them for you.

  • NI Update Service and non-administrative user

    On my Windows 7 PC I have 2 different users:
    a local Administrator user who can install application but can't navigate to the web (for security reasons)
    an User who can't install anything but can navigate to the web
    I launch NI Update Service under User account and it shows a list of available updates.
    I select one or more of these updates and I click on "Install" button
    Is asks me for the Administrator password, but then it gives a communication error with NI...
    Does it use Administrator user to download the updates?
    It should use it only to install and not to download

    Using CVI 2012 SP1 on Win 7 64bit, WinXP and WinXP Embedded
    Using CVI 6.0 on Win2k, WinXP and WinXP Embedded

    Yes, I tried but if I select "Run as administrator" Windows asks me for credential of an administrator account.
    I enter username and password, but my administrator account can't communicate to the web and so I get the error in the attached image (comm_err.jpg).
    As I wrote, I think that the problem is that NI Update Service uses the administrator user not only to install the programs but also to download them from the NI servers.
    I don't think this is OK because as shown in the attached install.jpg the button with the administrator shield is "Install", but after I click on it and enter the administrator credentials, NI Update Service tries to download the selected programs.
    But with my administrator user this is not allowed.
    It should download them with the user that launched it (with this user it is able to find the list of available updates) and use the administrator user only to install.
    Could someone from NI confirm that this is the behavior of NI Update Service, please?
