Change/Set permissions for specific application?!

I have at least one application that always enables GPS although it isn't needed --> more power consumption, I don't know why it is doing this. Additionally I have some applications I don't want to have access to the internet (at least if I'm not connected to Wifi).
On the other hand I have a java application that should have access to GPS and mobile data without asking every time for the permission.
Where/How can I achieve this? Why have some applications always to ask when others have permissions for things they don't need for proper function?
PS: N8 with Belle

Hi AUTxRemoteC,
According to the best of my knowledge you can only access suite settings and change them according to your preferences for certain applications only. To be able to do so, go to Menu> Settings> Installations> Already Installed the open it. From there, you can only change specific application settings and I know mostly java applications use this method. To check on which applications that you can access and change the settings place your finger to the desired application and hold it and when you see suite settings then you can change it settings. Usually when you hold to an application there is view details and delete but when you see the extra option that is suite settings then open suite settings and change them to your preferences.
I hope that it helps you.

Setting permissions for specific ports

Hello.
Does anyone know how to set up the Airport Extreme router / computer to allow connections from different ports? (exemple: allowing port 6885)
Thanks,
Marc

Hello, Thanks for your input, but could you explain in greater detail (in a step by step fashion) how to perform this action? If you could start from the very start (like which window/program to open) it would be greatly appreaciated.
Thanks,

How to set umask for specific directories?

Hi all.
Usually one set umask in .profile or .bash_profile. For example one recommendation is to set umask 022 for the Oracle DB software owner.
But i if wanted to change file permission for specific directories, for example udump and bdump directories, say 0177, how can that be acomplish...?
Thanks in advance ...!

Hello Frits.
I found the article pretty interesting and actually complements some research i'm doing about database security. Particularly something called project lockdown by Arup Nanda: http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/project_lockdown/phase1.html
On this document , section 1.4 Use umask. it specifcally states to set umask to 0177 for dump_dest and other directories, so it all comes down to how to set this umask for these particular directories.
I'd like to here you opinion on this ....
Best regards, Luis ...!

Webserver - setting permissions for Custom Sites

Quick q on setting permissions for custom sites default. Default home for custom (non-default) web site is:
/Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/
and whatever subdirectory you stipulate, e.g. MyServer - or whatever.
Server sets this as owner:
drwxrwxr-x 7 root admin 238 Mar 8 15:34 CustomSitesDefault
drwxrwxr-x 16 root admin 544 Mar 8 15:38 Default
For security, shouldn't the permissions and ownership be changed - to some webamin user WITHOUT root privs? Or will this break Lion Server? Thanks.

Hello,
One option would be to disable the automatic Project Site Sync in the User Sync Settings Page, create custom permission levels and groups on your SharePoint Project site template(s) to meet your requirements - make use of default SharePoint groups where
possible, save the new template(s) and attach the new templates to the EPTs. Then develop a Project Server event handler that adds the users to the Project Site on the Publish event (or what ever event you like). The project owner one is simple - just add
the project owner to the new SharePoint group, project members - just read the project team and add those users and the visitors just add a domain AD group (Domain Users for example) to that group.
Default Project Server sync settings / site permissions can be seen here:

SAPCAR: can not set permissions for /EPS/in/SIGNATURE.SMF

We are running SUM 1.0 SP10 on IBM i with V7R1 to put EHP6 and SP's on an ERP 6.0 system. Phase PREP_PRE_CHECK/SCANDIR_EPS0 repeatedly ends with multiple errors that SAPCAR: can not set permissions for /EPS/in/SIGNATURE.SMF file. We tried increasing the sidADM and R3GROUP authority to the file, but it changes them back and ends with a different number of errors each time, see example:

Hi,
We had the same issue, and in my opinion it is caused by the parallelisation of sapcar during SUM phase PREP_PRE_CHECK/SCANDIR_EPS0
I did see several parallel SAPCAR jobs running during this phase.
So what happens when one job extracts SIGNATURE.SMF at the same time another job tries to finalize its extraction by setting the permissions for /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in/SIGNATURE.SMF?
It can happen that permissions are being set at the same time another sapcar yust deletes this file to begin extracting.
Since we had 146 SAR archives that needed to be extracted, a retry allways ended up in 4 to 12 conflicts.
What did do the trick was adding
/sapcar/extrcact_parallel = 0
to the file
../SUM/abap/bin/SAPup.par
Just as Christoph Langer suggested.
We had to restart the whole phase, a repeat was not enough to solve the problem.

Password security - set permissions for different users

I am using Abobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
In the HELP menu, there is a security section in the contents, In the overview, it states the following:
"Each security method offers a different set of benefits. However, they all allow you to specify encryption algorithms, select the document components to encrypt, and set permissions for different users."
I would like to know how you can set permissions for different users using Password Security.
I am the only one in the company who has Acrobat 9 Pro and all others have Adobe Reader 8.
I have created a PDF file in Acrobat 9, this file is accessible to anyone with Abobe Reader. I would like to set different permissions for different users. For example, i would like certain individuals to print the document and other individuals to not be allowed to print. Can this be acheived using Password Security?
Many Thanks

Why can't Firefox set permissions for Snow Leopard Server Web-Site Wikis

I've established a web-site for collaboration of planning for a state-wide NGO and a local citizens-government oversight commission.
I'm using Snow Leopard Server v10.6.4, to drive the web-site, which includes the use of wikis.
In creating a wiki and setting permissions, I find that I cannot set permissions for users or groups to 'read only' from the default 'read & write' while using Firefox. However, I CAN set them to 'read only' using Safari. And, once the permission has been modified in Safari, THEN it can be modified in Firefox.

Solution found at http://michaeljin.wordpress.com/2010/01/05/locked-out-of-mac-os-x-server/
It’s blog update time! Updates have been a little scarce lately, been super busy with getting trophies on PS3
Anyway, recently encountered the following with a Mac mini server running Snow Leopard Server:
Despite being able to ARD / Screenshare the Mac mini, I was unable to get any further than the login window. Authentication credentials are obviously valid. No weird access permissions have been set. However, the weird thing was, I can connect to the server via Server Admin tools (from another Mac) and all other services were running without a hitch.
After much head scratching it turns out to be a sACL (Service Access Control List) issue.
This thread solved the mystery!
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1654864
To save you the trouble, I’ll lay it out here. I cannot take credit for this, but Randall can!
Open Server Admin on a computer (any), and connect with the local admin to the machine.
Select the server and authenticate.
Select Settings, then go to Access. You’ll want to make sure that Login Window and SSH have the local admin account listed if you select the option to “Allow only these users”. For now, I would suggest making sure all services have “Allow all users and groups” selected.
If (as in my case) it was set to Allow All in the first place, simply toggle the settings – back and forth.
Save.
Try logging in again… should be a good one!

Changing colours in rxvt for specific application

Was wondering if there is a way to override .Xdefaults for a specific application (mutt specifically)? Is there a way to load a seperate colour config file for a one off terminal window?

Yes, there is a way to make one-off terminal windows. One of the easiest is to simply change the 'name' resource of the terminal. In this example I have my xterm's normal background color set to a nearly black color and the alternate background set to a dark green.
! X resource file example
! Normal background
XTerm*background: rgb:08/08/08
! Alternate background
green*background: rgb:08/16/08
The normal background is called with the command 'xterm'. If I want to change to the alternate background, I use this command:
$ xterm -name green
Play with and read about the difference between instances and classes in X resources. You can also set many X resources for most Xlib programs from the command line. You'll have to RTFM.
Edit: The example code works when you substitute 'URxvt' or 'Rxvt' for the 'XTerm' class when using rxvt-unicode.

How to set permissions for folder?

Dear all,
How can iset permissions for a particular folder?
I am creating new folders for new users who access the program.
Is there any way yo set permissions so that no one is able to edit the name of the folder ?
Thanks,
Ritesh

Hi Ritesh,
Thanks for the post and I hope your well today.
You can programmatically change the Read Only and Hidden Status of a file
in labview using the DOS prompt from LabVIEW - called
System.Execvi.
Here are some links regarding the DOS commands you can use,
http://www.ss64.com/nt/subinacl.html
http://www.ss64.com/nt/cacls.html
So I beleive you could find a DOS command which could alter the editting properties of the name..
Another way to prevent the user altering the file would be to change
the user permission's in windows.. but it could affected the code and
most IT departments would not allow this.
Hope this helps,
Kind Regards

How can I change 'Custom' permissions for TM backup disc?

I have recently had some big problems with permissions on the main disk of my G5 iMac. After fixing permissions, Time Machine then reported that my backup disk (an external 300Gb FireWire disk) was read-only and so backups couldn't take place, and the icon for the disk has a padlock shown on it. Looking at the Get Info for the disk and unlocking 'Sharing and Permissions', I see a line saying 'You have custom access', and that all permissions shown are set to 'Custom'. I don't know what this means - and worse, I can't change the permissions to any of the normal settings (Read & Write, Read Only, Write only (drop box)), and I can't check 'Ignore ownership of this problem'.
I am thus unable to do any backup. The system worked fine for at least a year before this. Has anyone any idea what 'custom' means and what I should do. I haven't found anything that seems relevant by searching this forum.

Time Machine uses special "deny everybody everything" permissions. You should not change them.
FIrst, do a +Repair Disk+ (not permissions) on the TM volume via DIsk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder).
If that doesn't correct it,
If you only have a partial backup, or don't need the ones you've done, the simplest thing to do is just erase the disk/partition.
If you don't want to erase it, here's a workaround:
First, you need to find the name of the hidden file that's causing the problem Click here to download the +Time Machine Buddy+ widget.
It shows the messages from your logs for one TM backup run at a time, in a small window. If it shows a message like this: "You do not have appropriate access privileges to save file “.<nnnnnnn>” in folder <Name>"* skip to *Open the Terminal App* below.
If not, Click here to download the +Tinker Tool+ app. It allows you to change the Finder to show hidden files (among many other things). Select the first option under Finder, then click +Relaunch Finder+ at the bottom. Reverse this when done.
In a Finder window, select your Time Machine drive/partition. The very first file shown should have a name consisting of a period (dot) followed by 12 numbers and/or letters. (This is your Mac's Ethernet address). Copy or make a note of it.
Open the Terminal app (in your Applications/Utilities folder).
In Terminal, the prompt looks like this: user-xxxxxx:~ <your name>$
(where <your name> is your short user name). It's followed by a non-blinking block cursor (unless it's been changed via Terminal > Preferences).
At the prompt, type the following exactly as shown, substituting the name of your TM drive exactly, including any spaces, between the quotes; and the string of numbers & letters from the message where the series of x's are (keep the dot):
<pre> sudo chmod 644 /volumes/"TM drive name"/.xxxxxxxxxxxx</pre>
example: sudo chmod 644 /volumes/"TM Backups"/.0a1b2c3d4e5f
Press Return. You'll get some warnings and a request for your Administrator's password. Type it in (it won't be displayed) and press Return again.
Then try a +Back Up Now+ from the TM icon in your Menubar, or by control-clicking (right-clicking) the TM icon in your dock.

[Solved] How to use Oracle Java 6 for specific applications

I use an IDE called PyCharm. On its download page, it recommends using Java 6 instead of OpenJDK. I currently have jdk7-openjdk installed, and from what I had read in the Arch Wiki on Java, it should be possible to install Oracle Java 6 along side OpenJDK 7.
However, after installing jdk6-compat and jre6-compat, I still see that I am running OpenJDK 7 when I run the following:
% java -version
java version "1.7.0_09"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea7 2.3.3) (ArchLinux build 7.u9_2.3.3-1-x86_64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.2-b09, mixed mode)
...even after I have set JAVA_HOME and added /opt/java6/bin to my path.
How can I get PyCharm (or other applications) to use Oracle Java 6 instead of OpenJDK?
Thanks, and apologies if I've posted in the wrong place.
Other information that might be helpful:
Running zsh as default shell
Using Gnome 3 as DE
Last edited by Nikorasu (2012-11-17 20:54:33)

I found the solution.
For Pycharm, I just needed to add an environment variable PYCHARM_JDK. For running specific applications, I asked this question on the Unix / Linux StackExchange and got an answer there.
Also, after running PyCharm in Java 6... I would not recommend it. OpenJDK works fine

UNIX command to set permissions for a "public" partition?

I have a bunch of Core Duo (1.83) iMacs running 10.4.11. We have the drive partitioned so that students can save/store stuff locally for myriad reasons.
With infrequent regularity, the read/write permissions on the partition get munged up and staff have to reset permissions (using the Get Info window).
I would DEARLY love to use ARD 3.2 to send a UNIX command to set permissions so that EVERYONE has access to EVERYTHING on the partition regardless of who has logged in. We have cleverly named this partition "Scratch" 'cuz, well, you know, that's what scratch drives are for, yes?

What I was hoping for was the ACTUAL chmod command so that I could just cut and paste it.
Sorry not to be sufficiently specific. If you'd said that initially, I could have provided a more direct answer. I didn't know if you were even aware of chmod, and lots of people when they learn about it don't want to go anywhere near a chmod command, so I posted only to the general description first so you knew what you were getting into. Templeton has you covered for the specific command.
For future questions, the more specific you can be about what you're aware of/have tried and what it is you're looking for, the more precise folks here can be in their answers.
Regards.

How to set permissions for files created by Windows on OS 10.8 volume

I am in process of upgrading from an iMac with OS 10.6 to an iMac with OS 10.8. In my office network, I store all files on my iMac and let the Windows PCs act as workstations to read/write onto the Mac. (It's simpler to have all files centralized in one location, and only have to be concerned about backing up one volume.)
When I had OS 10.4 and OS 10.6 any newly created file saved by the Windows PCs onto the Mac could be opened by the Mac.
But with OS 10.8, I can not open newly created files from Windows. The file permissions for the newly created files from the Windows PCs are:
PCUser = read/write; Everyone = no access.
What do I need to do so that newly created files from the Windows PC (currently Windows 7) can be opened by the Mac, without having to use Get Info to reset the permissions each time?

You could try adding this Access Control Entry (ACE) to the folders you let them save to:
sudo chmod -R +a "accountinggroup allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,add_subdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /Path/to/topmost/folder
You first need to create a group for all the sharing people you want to have access to that folder, if you don't already have one. In the example, "accountinggroup" is the group, so change that to whatever you want to use.
The ACE allows them full access to the files in the folders. If you want to limit that, remove the option (such as delete).
You create Groups in Users & Groups System Preference just like creating a new user. Just change the account type to Group.
If you want a GUI to do the settings, try Sandbox. It's got a few glitches in the Interface, but it seems to write the ACL correctly. One glitch is selecting the Group or User. I had just a list of Continuing in the popup menu. I typed in the Group name I wanted and it worked. Some errors pop up as you traverse the file hierarchy, but you can dismiss them.
Here is an old hint, which gives a little background, and some other options: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20090219133314985
The Server tools would allow you to set this up more easily, but if this is all you need as the server, I don't know if it is worth it.

Change DFS Permissions for Namespace HELP!

I need to add Domain Users to the Namespace. When I set it up I had created a new group, which I now know was a horrible mistake. I cannot find how to get back to these permissions as shown in the screenshot. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
You can change the shared folder permissions for the namespace by changing the share permissions on the folder in the DFSRoots folder.
Please see the screenshot below:
