Can't log in as root via ssh, secure.log says it has expired

Hi,
I've followed the guides to enable the root account via Directory Utility but I can't log in via ssh. In secure.log I get:
Apr 26 09:09:56 snowy sshd[1797]: in pamsmauthenticate(): Failed to determine Kerberos principal name.
Apr 26 09:10:00 snowy sshd[1794]: error: PAM: user account has expired for root from <xxxx hostname removed for privacy> via 10.0.0.1
I've tried enabling/disabling the root account, changing its password.. I've made sure the root account is enabled in sshd_config and that it has a valid shell in /etc/shells.
If anyone can tell me how to fix this I'd be very grateful.
Thanks,
Mark

Nevermind I figured it out, needed to enable ssh for 'Administrators' group in Sharing -> Remote access

    I was having the same problem using ADE 4.0.2 and Mac 10.10.1. I finally gave up and deleted ADE version 4 and reinstalled version 3.0.  Works fine, and I can check out ebooks for my Nook using ADE.

  • I need a data transfer from intact hard drive of older macbook that won't boot. Can Apple provide this service even though my one to one membership has expired?

    I need a data transfer from a 2005 Macbook to my new one (2010). I damaged the old laptop and although it wouldn't turn on, when I brought it to the Apple Store they ascertained that the hard drive was still intact. They said I needed to purchase a one to one membership to get a data transfer, which I did, but somehow forgot about it and now it's expired. Is there any way I can still get the data from the old hard drive transferred to my new macbook? Can Apple provide this service even though my one to one membership has expired?

    Go to OWC where you can purchase a suitable enclosure for the drive. You will need an enclosure for a SATA notebook drive. This is assuming the old computer is a MacBook and not an iBook. I make this observation because the first MacBook was released in 2006, not in 2005. If yours is a 2005 model then it's an iBook and uses an ATA interface.
    Install the old drive in the enclosure, connect to your new computer. You can then transfer your data.

  • OpenDocument ReportPart (The session has been logged off or has expired)

    Hello,
    We are using OpenDocument-Links to embed 3 Report Parts in a single HTML site of the company.
    It works normally the first time, but after refreshing the site we get the error „An error occurred: Unable to reconnect to the CMS AbC. The session has been logged off or has expired. (FWM 01002)”.
    I think the problem is that 3 user sessions are opened at the same time, but should this be a problem?
    We have configured Windows SSO btw., so no login is needed.
    Any ideas? thanks!

    We discovered when we are using Google Chrome, where SSO is not supported, it works always.
    Any ideas what yould be the problem here with IE and SSO? We are using an iFrame for each report part. When we open the 3 report parts in 3 different browser windows it works, but not when we embed the report parts as iframes in a single html site.

  • I can't watch my adobe premiere pro cc movie now the trial has expired

    Hi all,
    I tried the trial version of adobe premiere pro cc and enjoyed it very much - I made a short movie using it but now the trial version has expired I can no longer watch the movie I made or show it to anyone :-(  I realise now that I should have saved it as an .avi file for example so that I could use it after the trial expired.  Is there any way I can do this now or has anyone got any suggestions?  I can't afford to buy the full version at the moment but would like to at least keep the video I spent so long making!
    Thanks in advance

    The only way to open a Premiere Pro CC project is to have PProCC
    Your original files are where you left them, but the work you did is only available if you have PProCC
    Can you afford under $100 for Premiere Elements? (although, it may be best to wait... version 11 is current, and v12 "should" be out in the next month or two for holiday shopping)
    Premiere Elements will NOT open your PProCC project, but at least it costs less... and is still a one time purchase, not a monthly rental

    The first step should be to run your network connectivity tests.

  • Can I activate an old AppleCare warranty after the 1 year warranty has expired?

    I bought the iPhone 4 on 24th June 2010.
    I did not purchase AppleCare (never received reminder email).
    My iPhone 4 original 1 year warranty expired on 24th June 2011.
    Someone has offered me an iPhone 4 AppleCare box purchased around Easter 2011, they didn't open/activate it.
    Can I now register and activate the AppleCare purcahsed Easter 2011 with my iPhone 4, or did I have to activate the AppleCare before 24th June 2011?
    Thanks

    Can I now register and activate the AppleCare purcahsed Easter 2011 with my iPhone 4,"
    No, you cannot.
    did I have to activate the AppleCare before 24th June 2011?"
    Yes, you would have had to activate within the warranty period.

  • Accessing Disabled Accounts via ssh

    We have user accounts on our OS X Tiger Server where the user has installed a public key into their ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file.
    The problem:
    If I uncheck "access account" in Workgroup Manager for one of those users, they can still login to the server via ssh, authenticating with their private key.
    So, how can I truly disable access to an account that has a key pair installed for ssh?
      Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Have you tried using WGM to change their login shell to "none"?

  • How can a network account log on via ssh to run jobs?

    We have a small setup with a tiger server and snow leopard clients. Each user has their own machine, but we have some communal mac pro machines. A lot of the software we run uses xwindows and I would like to have a method that allowed the users to ssh to these number crunching machines and run their parallel code at the same time, without having to log on using the apple log in window.
    The problem: The home directory is mounted at log in and is only readable for the person who physically logs in at that computer, so if a network user logis in via ssh they cannot see their home directory, and the authentication for xwindows screws up and there is no display.
    How can I make my client machines mount the home directory properly, and in a readable way, so that my network users can ssh to various client machines and have all their data available?
    I look forward to being illuminated.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    If you want others to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account(s). In the other account(s), enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in their source pane.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.

  • Disable Non-Root Connections to WindowServer via SSH

    I recall that in previous versions of Mac OS, one could not start an application in another user's workspace via SSH unless they were root, e.g. by running /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari at the prompt. The error given was something about being unable to make a connection to the windowserver. Root privileges were required to do so.
    However, I note that now in Mountain Lion I can run, for example, the previous command and my Safari will pop up in the session of the currently logged in user, neither of us being root or even administators.
    Is there a way to revert to the old behaviour (without disabling Remote Login, obviously)? I note some potential for evil, e.g. "/Applications/Utilities/Vine\ Server.app/Contents/MacOS/Vine\ Server &" to start a VNC server and, violá! surreptitious monitoring/control of active session...

    This was previously not possible.
    It has always been possible via the open(1) command. In any case, that doesn't matter. SSH access is unlimited access, unless you allow only public-key logins and specify a command to be executed in the authorized_hosts file. There is no security issue here.

  • The letter "G" shows up in the start when I log in to my HTPC via SSH

    When I log in to my HTPC via SSH the letter "G" shows up in the beginning:
    [ Neytiri ~ ]> ssh hund@<IP> -p <port>
    Last login: Fri May 14 08:54:06 2010 from [...]
    G[hund@Fjuppen ~]$
    I dont have this problem when I log in to my server via SSH. I'm using zsh on my workstation and bash on my HTPC and server. If I use bash on my workstation and log in to my HTPC the problem doesnt occur.
    It doesnt causes any problems, but it's disturbing that it's there and that I cant solve it myself.

    I am not sure what the problem is, but I might know where you can start searching for it.
    I have had a similar problem but it was when I tried to convert the official init scripts to C. I got a G at the beginning and It didn't seem like the utf8 support worked for the console (å,ä, and ö didn't work). The problem that I had was that I couldn't get /etc/profile.d/locale.sh to execute correctly from within the C program, it might be that zsh doesn't execute the locale.sh script correctly. I don't have a solution for the problem since I am still trying to solve it myself.
    Anyway. the script is partly generated from line 372 in rc.sysint (pkg: initscripts 2010.05-3):
    echo 'if [ "$CONSOLE" = "" -a "$TERM" = "linux" -a -t 1 ]; then printf "\033%%G"; fi' >>/etc/profile.d/locale.sh
    The generated /etc/profile.d/locale.sh looks something like this (it may of course look different but that depends on the utf8 and locale settings in your rc.conf):
    export LANG=sv_SE.utf8
    if [ "$CONSOLE" = "" -a "$TERM" = "linux" -a -t 1 ]; then printf "\033%%G"; fi
