Automatic make external hdds read-only

I want to reach, that every Storage-Device, which gets connected to the computer, is automatically read-only.
In Windows Server 2008 there was an registry hack (StorageDevicePolicies -> WriteProtect) , but in Windows Server 2012 this doesnt work any more.
So what is a suitable alternative?
PS: Not only users must not write on the hard drive, also windows self should not change the Data on the hdd.
Thank you

How can I make Keynote files read-only (eg: to share with students)?

I would like to share some keynote files with students, and I would like to set them up as read-only, so that the students can tap the screen, read my presentation, but not alter it. I've tried to set the files up as read-only on my iMac desktop, but when I load the file onto my iPad, it's still editable.
Any ideas re: how to make Keynote files read-only?
I've tried to export the files as PDF and load them into iBook, but some of Keynote's basic "build" functions won't work this way. Specifically, I have files set up with questions and answers (ie - a question appears, and you have to tap the screen to see the answer, but this "build" function seems to disappear when I get it to show up in iBook).
Any ideas how to make Keynote files read-only? I am happy to use another program, but I want the students to tap the screen in order to see the answer to a question.
Thanks!

as long as $PATH is set, you shouldn't need to reconnect them (i think). if you send the list of apps through | awk -F '/' '{print $NF}' | that'll strip the path
/edit: added the "(i think)" part

Make Sticky Notes Read-Only After Creation?

Hello,
I am wondering if there is a way to make sticky notes read only after someone has created one?
I have a form that we want people to add comments to but we don't want anyone to be able to remove those comments. Possible?

1) Make the column read only without coding

Please guid eme how to make the column read only in the list without using the coding.
Vij

Basically, the answer is that you can't. There are ways to change a specific list view to make a column readonly by replacing the form with a custom DataView form. But that only applies to that view and since users can create their own views,
those views would have read/write access to the column if the user has read/write access to the item. SharePoint only supports security down to the item level out of the box and not down to the individual column level.

Make USB mount read only.

Hello again,
I am looking to make any USB mounted devices read only by default. Is there a way to do this in Leopard?

Greetings,
While you can make a USB device read only, you can't make a port read only. There are ways to disable a USB port, but that's about it.
You can also use a OS X Server and with it, you can deny access to the device, but to make it (the port) read only, I don't think that's possible with any OS. You could mark the internal hard drives read only, as well, but that would be a major pain.
I have hundreds of machines, and the open labs are the only ones I disallow the use of USB devices for security reasons, PeeCee or Mac. Using the OS X Server, we can apply restrictions, as I do with Active Directory for the PeeCees.
Cheers,
M.

Unable to make Quantity Column Read-Only in PO Lines in R12 iProcurement

Hello Everyone,
My Requirement is if a PO is coming from a requisition and it has Requisition Number populated in PO Distribution, I want to make Quantity column Read only in the PO Lines. This column can be updated for all the lines in standard page by clicking Update button(which makes Quantity enterable).
I have tried following using SPEL Binding. But it seems SPEL Binding is not working as expected. I am pasting the code below :
I have created a Transient Attribute of Boolean Type in the VO and have placed it in SPEL Binding for the Quantity Bean. On click of Update button I am conditionally setting the transient VO attribute to False.
if(oapagecontext.getParameter("UpdateButton") != null){
super.processFormRequest(oapagecontext, oawebbean);
OAViewObject vo=(OAViewObject)am.findViewObject("PoDistributionsMergeVO");
String x=(String)vo.first().getAttribute("OnlineReqNumber");
OAMessageTextInputBean msgTextBean = (OAMessageTextInputBean)oawebbean.findIndexedChildRecursive("QuantityOrdered");
Row row=vo.first();
if (x!=null) {
do{
row.setAttribute("QuantityRendered",Boolean.FALSE);
row=vo.next();
}while(row!=null);
Thanks in Advance,
Abhishek Mishra

Abhishek,
Your code seems pretty fine. There are few things
1) Post the Spell, which you have attached with the rendered property.
2) Had you initialized your VO (where your transient variable exists).
For a work around i would suggest you to create a new VO and create a transient variable. Now try the same using this VO.

External Harddisk read only after the system hand during I copy some folders to my external drive.

I'm using macbook pro mid 2010.
I could not write my external HDD 1TB (WD) after I copying the folder from local folder to external folder via my parallel desktop.
During the copying, the system hang halfway and no choice i terminate the copy. SInce that, i could not write my HDD either from OSX or via parallel desktop.
When i check the infer, the HDD shown read only. I truing to use the disk utility to verify the disk but I could not click on the button.
Appreciate someone could advice me beside backup and reformat the HDD.
Thank you!

I've got the same problem here with a Seagate external HD. I've been able to install Leopard on another Western Digital HD and boot from it to copy some files to a newly purchased external, but in Leopard I can't copy my 180GB music library because of several errors. It either says that the file names cannot be copied because they are too similar to another file name (accidental dupes in the library) or that the names are too long to be copied and neither make any sense. I'm trying to figure out how to move all of my music over without having to go through it file by file and without losing anything.
I was able to easily copy all other information from the hard drive; the music is the last remaining item I need before I reformat the external and use it in Snow Leopard as a TM backup drive.

External hd read only after snow leopard

Hi, I installed snow leopard and it's running fine, but now my permissions for my external drives (mac formatted) are now read-only. It wont let me change the permission, or change owner, even when I go through root account (regular account is an admin). I already repaired permissions on my mac hd in a vain attempt to see if that would help, but it didn't.
I then tried the chmod command in terminal
sudo chmod -R u+rwX /Volumes/"myexternaldrivename"
but all i get is this for every file on the drive.
chmod: Unable to change file mode on /Volumes/Aaron's Big External/music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Disturbed/Ten Thousand Fists (Bonus Video Version)/Video - Stricken.mp4: Permission denied
Any suggestions?

FireWire External Drive - Read Only Filesystem

I have a strange issue that I have not been able to resolve. I have an external hard drive connected to my iMac that has a read only file system. I have used it for years without issue. It switched to read only just recently.
Here are the details:
27-inch, Mid 2011 iMac
Processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB
Software OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)
The drive in question:
Mount Point : /Volumes/DATA
Capacity : 2 TB (2,000,054,960,128 Bytes)
Format : Mac OS Extended
Available : 450.83 GB (450,826,641,408 Bytes)
Owners Enabled : No
Used : 1.55 TB (1,549,228,318,720 Bytes)
Number of Folders : 15,989
Number of Files : 84,118
As you can see, everything is set to Read & Write. However when I try to remove a file, I get:
$ rm -f test.file
rm: test.file: Read-only file system
If I try to write a file I get:
$ touch test.file
touch: test.file: Read-only file system
I have run the First Aid utilities and everything checks out OK:
The volume DATA appears to be OK.
Rebooting does not fix the issue either. After searching here and the interwebs, I haven't found a solution. Only references to FAT/NTFS formatted drives.
Is there anything else I can do that I missed?

Thank you Linc & MrJavaDeveloper!
I'm not throwing these suggestions out the window, but they would also be exhiiting some other symptoms too. With indexing issues, it shouldn't impact the inode or anything dealing with the filesystem.
The good thing is that the data is all still good and is readable.
First Aid is still the name of the tab in Disk Utility :-)
Regardless, I got impatient and I didn't have a spare drive to copy the data off of it so that I can rebuild this drive. So I nuked it and recreated the partition. Now I have to wait a couple of weeks for my restore from CrashPlan to finish :-P.

HOW TO MAKE FIELDS AS READ ONLY IN TABLE MAINTAINANCE

HI ABAPers,
HOW TO MAKE SOME FIELDS AS DISPLAY MODE.
FOR SUPPOSE, THERE ARE 5 FIELDS in SM30.
AMONG THEM 1 FIELD SHUD BE USED FOR EDITING AND THE OTHER 4 FIELDS SHUD ONLY BE USED FOR DISPLAY PURPOSE
WHEN EVER I ENTER A VALUE IN THAT 1 PARTICULAR FIELD THEN THE DATA OF THE REMAINING 4 FIELDS SHUD BE DISPLAYED IN THE SAME SCREEN ITSELF.
HOW CAN IT BE POSSIBLE...
PLZ HELP.
THNX IN ADV,
SP.

Hello SP,
You can create a maintenance view for the table & here you can define the maintenance attribute for individual fields.
For the fields you want to be READ-ONLY pass 'R' to those fields. (It is the 4th column from the left, the one to the immediate left of the Key column).
Don't change the TMG function group directly. If you regenerate the TMG the changes would be overwritten !
You can use the Event '01' to fulfill your requirement:
*&      Form f_event_01
*       text
FORM f_event_01.
DATA: v_indx TYPE sy-index,
        v_land1 TYPE land1,
        v_name1 TYPE name1.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <vendor> TYPE lifnr,
                 <val> TYPE ANY.
BREAK-POINT.
"TOTAL contains all data which are read, changed and created in TMG
LOOP AT total.
    IF <action> = neuer_eintrag " New Entry.
    OR <action> = aendern "Changed entry
    OR <action> = original. "Same as DB
      READ TABLE extract WITH KEY <vim_xtotal_key>.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
        v_indx = sy-tabix.
      ELSE.
        CLEAR v_indx.
      ENDIF.
      ASSIGN COMPONENT 'LIFNR' OF STRUCTURE total TO <vendor>.
      CHECK sy-subrc = 0.
*     select data from the LFA1 based on LIFNR
      SELECT SINGLE name1 land1 FROM lfa1
        INTO (v_name1,v_land1)
        WHERE lifnr = <vendor>.
      CHECK sy-subrc = 0.
*     Populate the hidden fields NAME1 & LAND1
      ASSIGN COMPONENT 'NAME1' OF STRUCTURE total TO <val>.
      CHECK sy-subrc = 0.
      <val> = v_name1.
      ASSIGN COMPONENT 'LAND1' OF STRUCTURE total TO <val>.
      CHECK sy-subrc = 0.
      <val> = v_land1.
      MODIFY total.
      CHECK v_indx GT 0.
      extract = total. "Pass the changes in TOTAL to EXTRACT
      MODIFY extract INDEX v_indx.

Make CA database read-only?

Is it possible to make Firefox not accept any new Certificate Authorities without user interaction?
Long story short, I have having a problem where Firefox is adding a CA to it's database that is hosing things up. The actual problem is with the cert that is being offered to me, and I am working with that system owner to fix the cert, but in the mean time I would like to have Firefox not ever load the CA into it's database. This new CA is added without the user being prompted at all. Simply visiting a specific website causes this new CA to be added to the list (but again, not trusted, just added to the list).
By default when it is loaded the new cert has no permissions so it is not trusted, but the problem is the fact that the CA that is added is a duplicate name with another known good CA in my list and it causes things to go wacky when there are two with the same name (different signatures, different issuer, the only thing the same is the nickname).
I know this isn't a problem with Firefox directly. In 99.9999% of cases when it adds an additional CA to the list it doesn't cause a problem at all because it is not trusted and it won't inherently allow the secure connection. But since fixing the real problem with the owner of the website is going to take a long time (weeks/months) I would like to put a band-aid on the symptom so that I can cut my maintenance of this topic down greatly.
I am running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.9 with Firefox 10.0.12 (RHEL distributed Firefox).
I could go into extreme detail to explain what is causing my problem, but the short question I have is "Is there a way to make the CA database read-only"?
I have tried editing the permissions of cert8.db in ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/ to only be readonly (0400) vice read-write (0600) currently. However this causes Firefox to have kittens when I try to use anything that reads the CA list so I had to change it back.
I have a hacky script to remove the CA using certutil, but since certutil uses the 'nickname' of the cert to decide which one to delete, and both the good cert and the bad cert have the same nickname I get worried I'll blow away the good one and not the bad one. So far it has consistently matched the bad cert, but I don't have enough confidence that it will do that every time to push it out to my users. If I could use certutil -D with something more specific than nickname (fingerprint, signature value, etc) I would be OK with that as well.
I know there are options to restrict user changes to things like proxies and the such, is there a similar way to do it with CAs? about:config doesn't appear show anything that looks like it would do it.
Can I have it prompt me when it tries to add a CA to the database and allow me to say yes/no?
I am OK if the change is something that requires manual intervention if we do decide to add another CA to the list. Currently I am having to repair this problem multiple times a day and new CAs don't come all that often.
Unfortunately, I can't simply upgrade to the latest Firefox as software restrictions are in place. I'm open to any ideas you may have.

Seems unlikely two unrelated CA or sub-CA certs would have the exact same issuer name. Was the name too generic? If they actually related and I assume created by your organization perhaps you could simply add the "Integration CA 456" certificate to your root store -- assuming you trust it.
Firefox validates certificate chains by looking up issuers, and in case of duplicates by default it grabs the one with the most recent "Not Before" date. There is a newer algorithm under development that won't stop at the first match but will continue to trying intermediate combinations until it finds a match or runs out of options. If you'd like to try it you need to add the boolean preference "security.use_libpkix_verification" and set it's value to true. This pref will not appear in about:config by default, but you can right-click in about:config to add it.

Make a field read-only after selection made

I have the below code:
var currency = topmostSubform.IFFPage3.Page.Body.rdoDefaultCurrency.rawValue;
topmostSubform.IFFPage6.Page.FirstCustomer.cboBasicGrossEarningsCurrency.rawValue = currency;
topmostSubform.IFFPage6.Page.FirstCustomer.cboOvertimeBonusCurrency.rawValue = currency;
topmostSubform.IFFPage6.Page.FirstCustomer.cboFeesCurrency.rawValue = currency;
topmostSubform.IFFPage6.Page.FirstCustomer.cboEarnedOtherCurrency.rawValue = currency;
I need the ones =currency to be read only. Is there a way to make them readonly? I dont want them to be able to change the drop down after a master currency is selected.

Use the 'access' property. YourField.access="protected" and YourField.access="open".

Make expense report read only after approval

Hello,
Please guide on how to make an expense report read only once it is approved and no change option should be enabled on enterprise portal. I have tried all the combinations of security in the ESS roles inside ABAP but not able to find the right combination. Please suggest.
Thank you.

it needs P_travl authorisaiton
Create a new Travel Request or Expense report (AUTHF W)
Change open travel Request or Expense report (AUTHF W10, W30)
Change returned Travel Request or Expense report (AUTHF W11, W31)
Create Expense report from approved Travel request (AUTHF W21)
use the note 1402925
If you create an expense report based on a not approved travel request,
the system asks for authorization to change this request
(W11 or W10) for AUTHF and then 30 or 31 for AUTHS.
THis combination is of course given by your P_TRAVEL object.
You need at least 2 seperate P_TRAVEL objects, whereas only 1 of them
contains AUTHS values for expense report. This must only contain
W2* and 30 / 31. Hopefully this could help.

Every boot requires fsck. Makes file system read-only

Suddenly when I booted my Arch I got a message saying that there was a corruption in my /home and /var directories. The same message suggested to pass fsck as solution. The booting process hanged there without entering to the emergency login. I took a live cd an executed a fsck in all my ext4 file system and “repaired” the problem.
When I could log into the system if, for example, I want to write a file o do any operation (sudo for example) I get the message:
sudo: unable to open /var/db/sudo/lola/0: Read-only file system
If I reboot the PC again, the cycle begins again, this is: errors, asking for fsck, then, read-only FS.
