BO security - threshold to decide on the no of BO groups
We are using BO XI R3, service pack 4.
We have currently organized the folder structure on the lines of the department. Every folder can have three types of access rights. So we have about 30 BO groups (10 folders).
Is there any threshold on the no of BO groups beyond which the administration will be an issue?
Jeff is right. There is no limit. This is more of a question along the lines - what is the managable number for you?
Can you effectively manage 1000 groups or 100 groups or 10 groups?
The less complex your security model is - the more managable it is .
Less complicated model also helps with CMC performance and with LCM/IW....

can't restore apple id , because apple were blocked for security reasons, but to restore the need to enter the key two- step werification . after typing it , apple sends a 4-digit code on the ipad , but at ipad I am not connected to icloud ,so i cant get code . but if i want to recover apple id, i need to connect icloud, so what to do? help !
I have (sorry forgot to add that). I was switched around and finally I was told I would be put through to a supervisor but after being on hold for about 10 minutes the phone went dead, I did not lose connection so I do not know if I was hung up on or there was some technical difficulty. I called again yesterday and did in fact speak with a supervisor for Account Security but he told me he did not know why it was happening and put me through to a different number but that ended up not being any helpful either. That's when I decided to give it a shot on here!

Hi,
Fed up with seeing the spinning beach ball I decided to reformat my MacBook Pro...
After backing up everything on an external hard drive I put in the OSX install DVD, restarted the machine and held down 'C'.
I followed the install prcedure, clicking next a few times etc...
I then went into Utilities > Disk Utility. I chose 7-Pass to erase the Macintosh HD and set it off erasing.
I checked the process an hour in and message on screen read:
Secure disk erase failed with the error:
could not open disk
The internal hard drive no longer exists in the disk utility so I cant retry erasing it.
The only thing that appears in disk utility is the OSX install DVD.
I can't even shut down the mac as everything under the apple tab is greyed out!
I'm guessing this means my hard drive is broken right?
If anyone has any other ideas of what to try I'd really appreciate that.
How do I turn the machine off?
If my hard drive is gone then should I consider getting an SSD drive?
Any recommendations for such a drive would be great.
Hope you can help!Did you partition the drive?
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X 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 Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive. -
I got an 15 dollar iTunes card for Christmas. I took a picture of the card code to redem the card I accomplished that but when I try to download an app that cost money it asks me two security questions that I forgot the awnsers to. Than I click the forgot security questions than it sends it to my email but that's the problem I do not get any email.
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of doing so include clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.

I didn't make a rescue e-mail and now i forgot the answers of my security questions!!' And the apple support contact wont open???
I'm not sure what you mean by the 'apple support contact wont open' (?). If you mean the 'contact iTunes Store support' link on the page that you posted from I've just tried it and it seems to wok ok for me, though I haven't gone as far as to actually contact them.
You can contact either iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset you can then use the steps on the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use, or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570 -
I am trying to reset the Security Questions as I have forgotten them, when I have logged into My Apple Id, and click on the button to reset the Security Questions, it states it is sending an email to the Primary Email address. I do not have the option to input a Rescue Email address, the only option I have is to input an Alternate Email address, which I have done so.
Also when I have tried to book an appointment throuth Online Support, I have not successful, I have rung a telephone number provided by the Mac Store in Perth, Australia and the reply provided is that we are closed. I was given to understand that Apple provided 24/7 Support to their users.Hot N Spicy wrote:

I forgot my security questions and I selected the " I forgot your answers?" on my apple id account
So, I forgot my securtiy question and it showed 2 of the questions. And I totally forgot about the answer to them. So what did I do? Well,I clicked on the "I forgot" then it sent my to login to my apple id. I did. I went and clicked on "Password and security" and I clicked on the I forgot my answer link. And it says " email sent" so I check on my main email address and I dont see it. I checked in the spam box and still nothing.Then I chcked on my secondary email address and I repeated the same thing and still nothing. I kept doing this for 5 hours now. I stopped cause I was getting mad. so I stopped and waited week later and did the process again and I still don't have the darn reset securtiy email yet. So ANYONE and I mean ANYONE whose s expert or has this happened to you before please help me! D:<

I tried to change my rescue address, since it is outdated, and was not receiving any of the emails from Apple to this faulty address regarding resetting my security questions.
I cannot proceed in regaining full use of my account to make purchases if I do not reset my security questions, and I cannot reset them without receiving such an email, and I have no idea how to change my rescue email. The Apple ID support section of this site was unfortunately unhelpful and led me in circles.
Please help me to change my rescue email address!
If it helps, a few months ago I changed my primary account email, and my old primary address is my faulty rescue address now. It is no longer on my list of addresses but continues to show up as my rescue address.
An additional portion of my question: Is it possible, if I terminate one Apple ID, to move purchases made on that ID, to a new ID? I'm not sure if it's a violation of the terms and conditions if DO NOT keep the purchases on two accounts simultaneously.Alternatives for Help Resetting Security Questions and/or Rescue Mail

A security question pertaining to disabling the root login. [SOLVED]
I've recently been configuring sudo and came across the following piece of advice:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Su … root_login
After making my normal user a full fledged sudoer I followed the advice in the link above.
passwd -l root
worked beautifully without problems in spite of the warnings.
However on a hunch after going
ls -l /etc/passwd
I was dismayed to see that the permission of the file was 644 with owner root. Shouldn't the permission be 640? Otherwise why would a cracker try to guess who is a sudoer when you can look at /etc/passwd and see myname in the entries and go like "OK root's disabled this is the only other human user lemme see if I can crack this..."
Like I would have changed the permission on etc/passwd to 640 but since I'm far from an expert I want to know if this is safe to do/are there any unintended consequences for doing so. Furthermore even if I can do that the cracker will then proceed to search for all users who are members of the wheel group. I don't know what command would do this but clearly there must be a way the OS keeps track of which group has which members. Even if it's possible to safely change the permission of etc/group to 640 or 600 I don't think it's a good idea cause the cracker will still attempt to find all members of the wheel group because wheel is universal to Linux.
My next worry is /etc/shadow. The good news is the permission there is 600. However there may be other files which can give away my username to the cracker besides /etc/passwd and /etc/group. If so what are they. Can they be safetyed?
All in all was disabling root a good idea. I still want my normal user to have sudo powers for convenience. But even so if I am right about /etc/passwd then following the advice there simply makes the job one step longer for el cracker muy malo. Can you guys clue me in as to whether or not /etc/passwd can be safetyed without consequence and what is going on with this whole thing.
Last edited by hiushoz (2011-01-10 05:08:03)I don't think you'll be able to change the permissions without error. If I'm not very much mistaken, several user-space programs (like xterms) read that to determine what your preferred shell is.
But if I understand the permissions system correctly doesn't the third number dictate access for people that aren't the owner or part of the owners group?
Yes, that's correct. However, there's no mechanism for them to view the files. Users can't execute processes (including the shell and its commands) unless they've either logged into your computer or found an exploit somewhere. In the event that they've found the exploit, they're most likely already running in either kernel mode or as root, so your security has already been compromised.
You're probably confused because of the oft-used terminology 'world readable'. In reality, that means any local user.
Why would you allow a cracker to login in the first place?
I think this about sums it up, though I would like to elaborate on what's really being said here. There are several ways to give a cracker access to your computer; the most obvious being granting them a user account and letting them sit at your keyboard. When you run a script or binary written by someone else, it's very close to the same thing. The program you're running can do everything you can.
Just as you wouldn't let someone you don't trust sit at your keyboard, you should only run scripts and binaries from users you trust, at least until you've gathered enough skill to scrutinize their contents. By installing the Arch distribution, it seems you already trust Arch and its repositories, so I wouldn't worry so much about those binaries.
Otherwise why would a cracker try to guess who is a sudoer when you can look at /etc/passwd and see myname in the entries and go like "OK root's disabled this is the only other human user lemme see if I can crack this..."
This is silly, for a number of reasons:
1) As above, the user would need to already be logged in as a local user.
2) There are dozens of other places where you can find lists of local users. Even if you were to change the permissions there, a cracker could easily find a list of probable human users by:
-Listing the contents of /home/.
-Reading the file /etc/group; this if anything is even more dangerous, as it hints at which users have administrative rights.
3) You're trying for security through obscurity. Instead of hiding the usernames, you should attempt to remove any vulnerabilities that would make knowing a username useful.
Perhaps you'd be better off preventing a brute force attack by monitoring /var/log/auth.log, perhaps with something like Fail2Ban?

Some of the album artwork on my iPod is wrong. I've tried to change it many times but it doesn't change. I've decided that the easiest thing to do now would be to NOT display album artwork on my iPod. How do I set my iPod to NOT display album art? I've checked the User manual and that doesn't help.
Why don't you, instead of taking time to do that, just backup, and then restore your iPod?

I can no longer show or delete cookies from my MacBook Pro, since installing the latest update of Safari and Itunes.. Previously, I went to the security tab and clicked on the show cookies option, then opted to delete.. That option has now diappeared and a completely different security tab appears. The tab does not show a cookies option anywhere.
Also, I can no longer see a list of my software applications without opening system profiler.
Sure would appreciate your help. Thanks.Safari's cookies is broken, either intentionally or it's a bug.
