ARD root login crashes remote machine

I have an xserve running 10.4.7 and ARD 3.1
We had a system power down during operation. (dont ask)
Then after the machine had came back up, trying to ARD onto machine and login as "admin" would enter OK.
However when logging in as "root" completely crashes the system, I can ping it but nothing else.
The local console shows just light blue screen with spinning wheel. The system has to be power cycled to get it back up.
I could not see from the logs what was causing this.
So as the machine is only running a database and is bound/connected to a windows2003 AD server. I rebuilt clean new boot disks with 10.4.8, again with ARD 3.1. and moved the database back.
However, I still have the problem where the system will completely crash when logging in as "root" user on an ARD session.
Has anyone seen this or can point me at some info to diagnose the problem.

You might try deleting the /Library/Preferences/com.apple.ARDAgent.plist file and the items in /Library/Application Support/Apple/Remote Desktop.

Screen sharing crashes remote machine with two monitors in 10.7.2

Hello,
Whenever i connect to my Mac Pro (running 10.7.2 now), the machine hangs completely if my two monitors are connected. This happens both over the network using Back to my Mac and Slink, when on a local network from my macbook Pro and a friends older iBook. (both running Lion). It also happens from a VNC client (remoter vnc) from my ipad. If i disconnect my second monitor, it works fine in all cases. Is anyone else experience a remote machine crash when trying to screen share?
I can connect to the disks fine. it's just screen sharing
I recently refromatted my machine and it was working fine before then -- but i imagine the problem stems from 10.7.2 since i both reformatted and upgraded.
thanks

Ssh login works but main login on remote machine does not

I have a PPC Mac mini with Tiger installed at a co-locate with a static ip. I also have remote desktop and I recently discovered that although I can successfully log into my remote machine on a terminal using ssh I can't log into the machine using RD. It connects, in other words I see my remote desktop with the choices for logging in. But if I choose my account, which is the only one to choose, and enter my password I get the shakes, the dialog shakes letting me know I did something wrong. I know my password is right because I have it written down and I can log in using ssh. Why would these be different? My apologies if this question is not in the right forum. I wasn't sure where to post this.

Have you set up the account in the Sharing -> Remote Desktop -> Access Privileges to allow connection and the appropriate functions?

How to login to remote machine using SSH?

Hi,
I have a requirement where in I am required to connect to a remote machine using SSH and execute some commands, say a tail -100 on some file over there and pull back output data from the remote machine.
I know we can use sockets to connect to remote machines and Runtime.exec to execute external commands. But I am unable to tie together the two of these to achieve whatever I want to do.
Is it possible to somehow connect w/o using a custom server socket? The problem is that there is no concrete list of servers to connect to. It will be decided by the user. So I will not be able to install a server socket on each and every machine.
Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks a lot.
With regards,
Ganesh

Hi,
I am writing a java program that will try to use a SSH client to connect to a remote machine. I do not want to log into every single remote machine to moitor stuff over there.
My plan goes like this:
Have a web application that can connect to a DB for all information regarding remote servers to be monitored.
Based on user selection of a particular server, use data from the DB to connect to the particular remote server and pull in some data.
Hope I am clear enough now. Thanks a lot.

Unable to connect to WMI (r) on remote machine "SCCMCLIENT03"

Hi!
I'm in the process of configuring the XP firewall to support the Client Push installation method that SCCM offers. At the moment I'm quite happy with the result. The SCCM client agents are installed properly on my reference machines.
To secure that the WMI functionality is up and running I have (prior to the client agent installation) run wbemtest with following parameter (from server to client, and vice versa):
\\host\root\cimv2
I successfully contacted that specific namespace on both ends. But when I trace the log I find the following error which still indicates that something is wrong:
CWmi::Connect(): ConnectServer(Namespace) failed. - 0x8004100e SMS_CLIENT_CONFIG_MANAGER 2009-03-10 11:12:14 1704 (0x06A8)

Why do I get this? What am I missing here? I got the feeling of WMI functioning the way it should.
Any hints on this one?
In an MSDN-article (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa389286(VS.85).aspx) I read the following lines:
"If the user account that is on Computer A is not an administrator on Computer B, but the user account has Remote Enable permission on Computer B"
Those lines are part of an article which describes how to configure Remote administrations properly. For that to work, does the computer account of my Central Site Server has to be part of the local administrators group on every client?

Fredrik

but I'm not sure if it's want you asked me; the owner of /var/empty is root of group sys.
By the way I had a problem that Lion cancelled the owner root and I had to use System Preferences User and groups to add root again, with the result that now I can use only the comman "su root" and not "sudo anycommand" anymore.

ARD highlight and erases remote login passwords

When using ARD to log into remote Macs that have screens locked with a password, on several occasions after two or three characters are entered all characters are hilighted and the next keystroke erases the first part of the password. Does anyone know how to fix this error?

I've experinced similar issues in the past. BUT I wasn't even using ARD at the time; I was using logmein. at the time I though maybe a key was stuck down on the keyboard or some one was playing with the keyboard.
I don't remember what I did at the time to work get past the issue. I think I rebooted the computer or typed very slowly with big pauses between each letter.
BUT like brian, I use screen saver with lock. So it's very possible I was at the screen saver lock window when I had the issue. and my box is a 10.8 box.

ARD 3.6.1 remote log in Unix command failure

Hello, I am using 10.7.5 and ARD 3.6.1 and cannot figure out how to remotely log in to another computer
I wish to remotely log in using ARD to multiple computers in my network, up to 30 at a time for elementary students. I can observe, control and send Unix commands to the machines when they are at startup log in screen or in use. This is the Unix command I am trying to use to log into the comptuer using ARD and Unix command function.
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke "login"'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke tab'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to delay 0.5'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke "password"'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to delay 0.5'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke return'
**and yes I am changing the login and password keystroke**
I have tried the above Unix command and several others but I get a message saying "A console user is not logged in on “studnetmacbook"" so I click the button to run command as user admin but then get the message below.
36:50: execution error: An error of type -10810 has occurred. (-10810)
36:49: execution error: An error of type -10810 has occurred. (-10810)
36:54: execution error: An error of type -10810 has occurred. (-10810)
36:52: execution error: An error of type -10810 has occurred. (-10810)
36:52: execution error: An error of type -10810 has occurred. (-10810)
Could someone explain these errors. Is ARD not compatible with remote log in with the versions I have? I have seen on sites this is posted and other sites that this needs to be run as the root user...Should I know how to run this as a root user and if so could someone help me with how to do this?
Or if anyone else has a working command could you share it with me for remotely logging in using ARD.
Thanks!

Hi
Don't quite recognise what it is you're using. Maybe try:
osascript <<EOF
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "whateverusernameyou'reusing"
keystroke tab
delay 0.5
keystroke "whateverthepasswordis"
delay 0.5
keystroke return
end tell
EOF
Instead. Works every time for me.
The above are all on separate lines.
HTH?

IBM DB2 9.7 Express-C instalation on remote machine

Hi guys,
I'm trying to install IBM DB2 9.7 Express-C on a remote machine that does not have xorg installed.
I've managed to enable forwarding X over ssh (tested on xeyes), but when i start db2setup, it doesn't do anything.
Output in console is this:
user@remotemachine$ ./db2setup
DBI1190I db2setup is preparing the DB2 Setup wizard which will guide
you through the program setup process. Please wait.
DBI1160I Non-root install is being performed.
If i login with root then the output is basically same:
user@remotemachine$./db2setup
DBI1190I db2setup is preparing the DB2 Setup wizard which will guide
you through the program setup process. Please wait.
I'm running latest arch with xfce4 with slim for starting DE.
Can anybody give me some poiners on how to install this?

Copying Files From a Remote Machine through "rcp" command not working.

Hi All,
I'm a new comer to this famous forum. I was trying to go through the PDF "Solaris Advanced User's Guide" .So in chapter 9-"Using the network" i came across "Copying Files From a Remote Machine". And the syntax was "rcp machinename:source destination" . And i got another note. It is like
"The rcp command enables you to copy files from one machine to another. This command uses the remote machine's /etc/hosts.equiv and /etc/passwd files to determine whether you have unchallenged access privileges. The syntax for rcp is similar to the command syntax for cp.".
But i maintained remote machine's IP address in my system's /etc/hosts file. But still i am unable to do the rcp from remote system to my system or vice versa.
Always i am getting error message " **Connection refused**".
Therefore please some one guide me how to perform the " Copying Files From a Remote Machine" through rcp command.

Hi
The inconvenience of using scp is that you have to type the password every time you stablish a connection. You can work around this, adding a key into the remote hosts_allow file. This implies in more maintenance.
From the rcp man page:
+rcp does not prompt for passwords. It either uses Kerberos authentication which is enabled through command-line options or your current local user name must exist on hostname and allow remote command execution by rsh(1).+
From the rsh man page:
+ If you omit command, instead of executing a single command, rsh logs you in on the remote host using rlogin(1).+
By default, rlogin is disabled on Solaris 10
[SunOS 5.10/bash] root@wgtsinf01:/store/sun/operating-systems
# svcs -a|grep -i rlog
disabled May_11 svc:/network/login:rloginSo, to use rcp you have to enable the rlogin service and set up all the configuration files. Particularly, as already suggested, I too suggest you to use scp. :)

JMF : Audio can not be played from the remote machine

Hi,
I am developing voice chat application.
As the moment this writing I can capture from mic and play it from the same machine.
But when I capture and transmit audio from one machine and try to play from remote machine in LAN it does not work.
Could anybody tell me please What would be the possible causes for this ? I have given the code below.

By the way the program does not terminate immediately after starting it. According to your advice I tried removing running it inside in a thread and making it sleep at several points appropriate. No luck.
I wonder why packets are not sending even the program is running until the end of the line with no exception.
Have you tried to capture RTP packet traffic with Wireshark or similar kind of network analyzing software with this kind of program?
I am doubt whether my program is actually transmitting packets but unable to capture those due to the error with transmitter.
Even with the Wireshark It does not capture outgoing packets.
And another thing I noticed with netstat is it shows two pots get opened when running the application but those ports are not the one I note in the program.
For example I run the program with port number as 10000 (sink: setOutputLocator rtp://192.168.2.104:10000/audio). But when I check it with netstat some other ports are open.
i.e
nuwan@nuwan-laptop:~/eclipse$ netstat -anup
(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info
will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:68 0.0.0.0:* -
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:40526 0.0.0.0:* -
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5353 0.0.0.0:* -
udp6       0      0 127.0.1.1:28864         ::: 10772/java*

nuwan@nuwan-laptop:~/eclipse$
And each time when I start the program these two ports are changed also.
And foreign address is not shown ? Any comment for that??
Is there anything that can be drawn from above information which caused for not working my program.
This is killing me. And also making me sharper. And I cant leave this behind also. So highly appreciate you time and help.
Thanks.

Not able to access database from a remote machine using SQL Server Management Studio

Hi,
I have a DB_BOX with SQL Server 2008 R2 installed. I can access the databases on the local machine using SQL Server Management Studio but it is not accessible from other machines, though the machines are in same domain.
I have remote enabled on SQL Server box, TCP enabled, firewall off. I checked with IP Address too, all SQL Server services are running.
The SQL Server log shows the message
The requested service has been stopped or disabled and is unavailable at this time. The connection has been closed.
I get the below message in SSMS from remote machine.
Details of error message are

Sorry, missed the message from the errorlog in the original post. You shouldn't have included that big .Net dump that hid the important facts. :-)
My first Google attempt on that message (which I have never seen before) suggests that the TCP Enpoint is stopped, so try this:
ALTER ENDPOINT [TSQL Default TCP]
STATE=STARTED;

This solves the problem. Thanks...

Connecting to an XServer as root login

Is there a way to login to an Xserver from an OSX workstation as root? Is there a setting on the XServer to let root connect to the Xserver from another computer.
Thanks in advance.

It should be no problem.
I can't remember if you first need to enable the root user in NetInfo Manager when running OS X Server. Perhaps you want to check that on the XServe first. (NetInfo Manager -> Security -> Enable Root User)
Otherwise, you should be able to log in as root from any other machine.

Program to open file in remote machine

Hi,
i want to write a program in which i can access a file in another system.
But the catch here is that the other system is using password to login to the system.
How i can provide password through my Java Program to access to other machine
~Aman

Can you just send me the code how to read file from Shared folder/drive through java program?
e.g ="\\mcno-pc180\shared\HelloWorld.txt". I am able to access file HelloWorld.txt from my machine which is placed in shared folder path "\\mcno-pc180\shared\".
Regards
SPulluri
Share the folder/drive which you want to access on the remote machine then your application can access it.
Try to use the user which has already rights of reading/writing to that machine then the security dialog will not appear.

Question about BlazeDS on a remote machine

So, i am running BlazeDS on my windows machine because that is where i have my Java stuff all setup and entrenched.
However, i develop Flex on my mac because i like how it works, and i have Flash Builder on Mac.
I want to set up a BlazeDS project, but it's asking for the root installation folder. How can i do this if it is on a remote machine?
The first answer that comes to mind is to map the Tomcat folder on my mac, but i don't know if that will work right.
any ideas/suggestions?
thanks
