Macbinary file in home directory
Hello, I have noted lately that there is a mac binary file in my home directory, does anyone know what is this for? I did not notice this file a month and half ago. Everything else is ok with my mac but I am very curious about this file. I tried opening it and it did nothing. Any ideas? The name of the file is profiles.bin. Although I have used Mac for a while I do not know some details associated to Unix and Mac System. Appreciate any help, thanks.
Hi, vitoman.
You wrote: "I googled it and did not find anything. "
This Google search turns up a couple of threads concerning this file on forums in Germany and Italy. The "Translate this Page" links yield some rough translations, at least one of which seems to imply it may be related to installing the latest Office update.
Another user seemed to indicate that he deleted the file but it later reappeared, implying it might be caused by a Startup or Login Item. If that's the case, ee my "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ for steps that might help you with this problem.
If you speak/read German or Italian, perhaps you can get more from those Google results than the translations yielded.
Good luck!

MacOS keep open file in home directory
I don't know if I've changed anything but my Mac keeps open every files written in the HOME directory with the default editor. Any idea to modify this behavior? I'm using Mac OS X 10.6
Thank you in advance.Never mind. I was able to fix it. Just delete every thing from ~/Library/Preferences (or move all files to another location and then move them back if you don't want to lose your settings).

Suspicious .nyiyeverc file in home directory
I found a hidden file called ".nyiyeverc" sitting in my home (~/) directory and I can't find any info on what it is, or if it could be something malicious or unwanted. I searched Google, as well as other search engines, and got absolutely nothing.
I opened it with TextEdit and it appears to be a single line of text reading "awcnsawcnsawcnsawcnsawoolwascully wa". Very weird! I googled that too, but still nothing.
It's 8 KB, listed as a UNIX executable, created 2/19/12, modified 9/26/12 (two days ago). I am perplexed!More than suspicious I'd say, & the fact that it isn't searchable would indicate very sophisticated Malware.
Installed anything lately?

Lots of 0kB text files in home directory
I am using a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.7.2. Last week, I had a hard drive corruption and restored my MB Pro from a Time machine backup and the Lion Startup partition. While I was fortunate that only a days worth of data was lost, all has not been completely smooth.
1) There are a lot of text files of 0 kB with either no name or non-sensical names beginning with a percent sign and other non-sensical characters (e.g. %E1%DB %F6ޝo^%EF%FEۆ%83%A7wkx8) in my home directory /Users/isaac.
2) The 500 GB partition that I have been using for Time Machine to back up the internal 320 GB hard disk is now not large enough to back up the volume. There is only one backup on the drive (the one I used to restore), but Time Machine won't complete the backup although there is 197.5 GB available. I thought that time machine didn't make complete backups and wondered why this has become a problem after the recent re-install.
There have been some runaway processes that I can't isolate that heat up the computer (72 F) and start the fan a whirring 4400 rpm.
I don't know if these are related to previous kernel panics that would intermittenly freeze and crash my Mac (the ciscovpn agent seemed to be the process that was always the final process before the crash), but I thought I'd mention them anyway.
Are these issues foreshadowing future doom?
Your thoughts are welcome. Thank you.

Sounds like TM wasn't able to figure out what happened. When you did the restore, the disk got a new UUID (Universally Unique IDentifier), that OSX uses to keep track of drives (rather than the name). So it's treated as a different drive. Ordinarily, when you do a restore, it leaves a "trail" so Time Machine can automatically connect the "new" drive to the old backups. Sometimes, though, it doesn't.
You may be able to get it to "associate" the "new" disk with the backups, per #B6 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting. -
Why can't create file under /home directory?
I user solaris10, and login as root,I find I can't create any file or directory under /home directory! It say "operation not applicable" ,Why? I am puzzled it for a long time. Anyone could tell how to do it?
ThanksFor Solaris,
/home is not an on-disk file system, it is a file system under the
control of the automounter, and only the automounter can create
directories/files in it.
If you don't want the automounter to manage /home, then remove the
"/home" entry from /etc/auto_master
(and issue the command "automount -v" to force the file
to be reread, or reboot).
However, the typical setup for Solaris is to locate user's home directories
in /export/home.

I have to give password to file changes in my home directory
From yesterday, when I try to change files in my home directory, a dialog box pops up to ask the password.
That happens even after make the file permission to 644. I tried to change the whole /Users/myplace permisson, but it doesn't work.
The owner of the file is set as myself, but there might be something broken with this.
This actually made everything not working, dropbox takes for ever to delete a file, evernote can't even start and on and on.
I just happen to add New Person with the same user name that I use now in Sharing, but I'm not sure this is the cause of the problem.
How can I solve this issue? How can I delete/move files in home directory without giving passwords?
Thanks,
smchoYour username is "smcho"? So your home folder is named "smcho"?
Yeah for the System Folders "Movies", "Music", "Pictures", "Library", "Public" and "Desktop" there is an ACL, so you can't rename or delte them.
It's just for your safety because these folders are used by the system and should be not renamed or removed!
Additionally you made something wrong by chmodding your home folder to 644 - or as it showing here to 730!?!
Normally the user home folder and the included folders should be at 700 and the Public folder at 755. Additionally the folders have an acl for "everyone deny delete". so something get messed up! -
Error in the isqlplus.conf file?
Is there anyone else out there that gets this message? Each time I try to run my HTTP server to access iSQL*Plus, I get:
"Syntax error on line 92 of c:/oracle/ora92/sqlplus/admin/isqlplus.conf: FastCgiServer: redefinition of a previously defined FastCGI server "c:/oracle/ora92/bin/isqlplus"
Does anyone know how I can adjust this config file, or otherwise fix this problem?
Other than that, the Enterprise edition is up and running, including the SQL Plus app.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
EricHi Alison,
Thanks for the response! Unfortunately, I tried both of these, and neither seems to apply:
http://otn.oracle.com/support/tech/sql_plus/htdocs/runtime.html#isql_duplicate_entriesAt first, I thought this would be the problem, since I installed twice, but there was only one oracle_apache.conf file in the directory...
http://otn.oracle.com/support/tech/sql_plus/htdocs/runtime.html#isql_mutex_errorThis one actually talks about a different config file. I'm getting errors on my isqlplus.conf file. It's saying that there's an error b/c of "FastCGIServer: Redefinition of a previously defined Fast CGI Server" Here's what the config file looks like on that (in relevant part):
# Maps all virtual paths beginning with "/isqlplus*" to the iSQL*Plus
# FastCGI application
<IfModule mod_alias.c>
ScriptAliasMatch ^/isqlplus(.*) C:\oracle\ora92\bin\isqlplus
ScriptAliasMatch ^/isqlplusdba(.*) C:\oracle\ora92\bin\isqlplus
<Directory "C:\oracle\ora92\bin">
AllowOverride None
Options FollowSymLinks
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
</IfModule>
The other reference to the FastCGI server is here: <<#
# Setup the iSQL*Plus FastCGI application.
<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
FastCgiServer C:\oracle\ora92\bin\isqlplus -port 8228 -initial-env iSQLPlusNumberOfThreads=20 -initial-env iSQLPlusTimeOutInterval=30 -initial-env iSQLPlusLogLevel=off -initial-env iSQLPlusAllowUserEntMap=none -idle-timeout 3600
</IfModule>
Not sure about where else this FastCGI Server might be called, but it looks like one of the definitions is typographically different from the other. Could this be the issue?

AES-256 user home directory sparse image bundle in Lion?
Snow Leopard and previous had file vault to protect users' home directories as, I believe, AES-128-encrypted sparse image bundles. As I understand it now, under Lion, the options are to enable AES-128 whole disk encryption, or, if upgrading an existing snow leopard machine with a legacy file vault user account, to maintain that legacy file vault user home directory. However, under this second approach, additional users' home directories cannot be individually "file-vaulted" and instead, would require that legacy file vault be decrytped and then the entire disk be encrypted.
I am thinking that it would be advantageous from a security standpoint if an individual user home directory could remain encrypted, if that user were not actively logged in. Then, all contents would be inaccessible to other users, including administratively privileged users, and also that user's home directory would remain encrypted when the computer was turned on and booted up because as I understand it, file vault 2's real strength lies in protecting "data at rest" versus "data on a powered up and mounted file vault 2 volume".
To that end, I am wondering, regardless of whether file vault 2 is enabled or not, whether an existing user home directory and all of its contents be converted to an AES-256-encrypted sparse image bundle, using Disk Utility, and exist at the /Users directory space, mounting and decrypting "on the fly" from the login window at user login just like how a legacy file vault home directory is treated under snow leopard, independently of whether file vault 2 was enabled on the whole disk or not. This would also permit later addition/conversion of another "file vaulted" user account whether fle vault 2 were enabled or not.
To recap, an AES-256-encrypted sparse image bundle that would mount upon user login just like a legacy file vault user home directory does. Does anyone know if something like that is doable, and has that road already been travelled successfully? If so, I'd love to read a step-by-step, play-by-play, set of instructions on how to do just that.I think I got a solution worked out. I don't mind if things get installed in /opt as long as pacman tracks it, and I found ruby-enterprise-rmagick in the AUR as an orphan. I adopted it, updated it, installed it, and it's working great with my code.

Home Directory Permissions on New Files/Folders
Problem: When a user creates a file or folder in the root of their home folder (ie. not in their Documents or other default folder) it is given "read" access to the "others" POSIX permission. So, anyone browsing the "users" folder on the network can view those files or folders. I would like to change this behavior so that when a user creates a file or folder, it is only read/write for the user and nothing for everyone else.
umask is not really the correct thing to do in this case, as this resets the permissions for every file the user creates. Afaik, the umask setting has to be installed on every machine via the launchd-user.conf file (to contain simply: umask 002) (or whatever is appropriate for your facility), as umask is a property of the process, not the connection.
What might work better for your problem is make the homedirs world and group non-readable. That way the user creates files within their homedirs and anywhere below, but everyone else can't read them regardless of the files' permissions because the directory itself is unreadable. -
I just don't want to have to delete a lock file - which has a purpose - in order to use firefox simultaneously from two locations on the network - where the home directory, i.e. .mozilla directory - is located
You need to use two separate profiles if you want to have two Firefox instances open at the same time.

Hi everyone,
I have a SSD with the System and Apps on it, and another HDD containing the home directory.
I made the mistake to rename the Volume the home directory is on whilst being logged in, the system reacted accordingly and prompted some Password requests,
and I then tried to choose the newly named Volume in the Advanced options dialogue in Users & Groups (example seen below).
I tried to change the name back to what it was in the hope of it all being back to normal again, but instead it's completely messed up now and I cannot login anymore (prompt: "You are unable to log in to the user account "xxxx" at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred")
All I can do now is boot my Windows 7 and try to fix this from there, I can read/write the OSX Volumes thanks to MacDrive.
So now the big question is:
IS THERE A FILE containing the path to the home directory (red arrow)?
IF SO, WHERE can I find it?
And is there a way to edit it in Windows?
My guess is that if I rename the Volume, AND change this path to something identical again, it might solve the issue.
Thanks!Download THIS

Receiver File Adapter - Directory field - home directory
How do I populate the Directory field in the receiver file adapter if I don't know the directory. I want to use "home directory", but I don't know what that is. I'm sending a file to a IBM i5 OS.
I have already asked for the path. This is the answer I got.
Directory listings from FTP sessions are disabled. We use IBM i5 OS for the FTP server because it's immune to exploits aimed at Windows and Linux based servers. Since you can only "PUT" a file, it is analogous to a bank night deposit box (lots of companies can make deposits to this same metal box on the brick wall but none of them can use it to make withdrawals).
