Customer changed permissions on root level of server OS HDD!

Client has managed (not once, but three times) to entirely mess up their server. 10.5.. on a G5 XServe
The IT idiot went into server Admin, clicked the root HDD, and changed permissions to be shared with EVERYONE. The first two times we had a Time Machine flavor we could live with. This time we don't.
The system apparently took 2-3 days to propagate these new settings, after which the system would no longer boot.
I have attempted numerous permission repairs to the HDD, but am still unable to get it to boot properly.
Unfortunately (due to the customer managing to do this three times in 10 days and for reasons too complicated to explain), we no longer have a valid Time Machine backup which we could revert to.
I have a 10.5 server installer with an Archive and Restore option, but it fails to do this each and every time.
I've tried making Disk Utility repair permissions to the HDD (well, to duplicates of it - I'm on duplicate 7 or 8 now) It will change a load of permissions, but the net result is that each time during the boot sequence, the server will attempt to boot, and after 3-5 minutes will cycle itself and reboot.
I've manually attempted numerous ownership and permission changes, hoping to do a 'global' repair, then have Disk Utility 're-bless' the boot permissions to resolve boot issues.. This has not made any difference either.
Any thoughts??

In follow-up, is there any method to recover the users database from the old (messed up HDD)? there are a lot of users (600 of them), and I'd love to figure out how to migrate without having the original working (and of course wihtout a timemachine working)....

  • How to Change Appearance of "Top-Level" Wiki Server Pages?

    In Mountain Lion Server t is easy enough to change the appearance of our Wikis, Personal pages and their attached blogs - simply by going to "Wiki Settings...->Appearance" or "My Settings...->Appearance". This allows us to change the background pattern on pages, add a custom texture to headers, and select from a handful of preset colour schemes.
    It would be nice to have that level of control over the appearance of all the pages in my Wiki, but there seem to be a handful of default, top-level pages in the wiki whose appearance cannot be easily controlled anywhere. These include the "Home" Page, the "All Activity", "All Wikis" and "All People" pages.
    Is there a way to change the background and apply different colour schemes to these pages, too?

    Tom
    Anything is possible in the portal, however, out of the box functionality will not let you do this. Therefore you would have to create your own method of doing this.
    What you could do, would be to have some form of UI that would allow the users to see what TLN entries they have, and let them arrange it however they choose. This information could potentially be stored in the /userhome folder in KM for their preferences. Then, have your own TLN iview, which retrieves the navigation entries from the navigation service, and then retrieve the personalised order from the configuration in the /userhome folder.
    It simply depends on how much development expertise you have, and how much time and effort you wish to spend on this.
    I hope this gives some kind of ideas

  • How do you change permissions of "Home" folders on a Mavericks Server??

    I have a test server and test machine. I installed Mavericks and the OSX server app onto my test server and installed Mavericks onto my test mac.
    I have created a Folder which will house the home folders of users, made this into a shared folder, ticked the option that allows it to be used as a homes folder. I seem to have read/write access to the folder but I have not got access to the folders within the home folder; the users home folders. As an administrator I need access to all the folders.
    I changed permissions to add myself read/write access to the folders but then this breaks the home sync and when the user logs in I get an error message that says the "Home folder is not where it is supposed to be" or something along those lines.

    You can enable root by gui if needed.  
    /System/Library/CoreServices/Directory Uitily
    When you open the Directory Utility you will have to click the lock on the lower left and authenticate as an admin user.  Next go to the menu bar and the "edit" menu.  Click edit, then click "enable root user".  It iwll prompt you to create a root password.   Once you do you will have the "other" option at the login window after restart.  Or if you just enter username and password, use "root" for username and the password you created for password. 
    When you are done doing whatever you need make sure to reopen Directory Utility and disable the root user.

  • Regarding creating SharePoint custom permissions not permission level

    Hi All,
    i want to create or manage custom permissions under permission level.

    for list items Manage Lists and add items etc.
    Thanks in advance.
    Kindly suggest me some suggestion
    Varsha Patil

    Use SPSecurityTrimmedControl control to for specific users or group. But still SPSecurityTrimmedControl will not work for full control so you also need to customize permission for full controls users.
    First go to permission level page and modify the permission for full control. uncheck the permission for whom you don't want to show this control (refer below link to know about base permission)
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.spbasepermissions.aspx
    Then do the same for custom permission level. and now assign this custom permission to group. Later use  SPSecurityTrimmedControl in above menu and then hide/show control for users.

  • My MacBook w/ OSX 10.6.8 cannot access my external Time Machine Backup USB Drive.  It says it is a Read Only drive.  When I went to change permissions I found all pernissions were listed as "Custom" and I could not reset them to "Read Write".  Any help!

    My MacBook w/ OSX 10.6.8 cannot access my external Time Machine Backup USB Drive.  It says it is a Read Only drive.  When I went to change permissions I found all pernissions were listed as "Custom" and I could not reset them to "Read Write".  Any help would be appreciated.

    This can be done easily with ethernet.
    Please follow the instructions strictly.
    To make it easier I want you to do this overnight so you can turn off all your current connection to the internet.
    Just go to the airport fan in to the top right and turn airport off.
    Get ethernet cable and connect the laptop to the TC lan port.. ie <-> ones.
    Press and hold the reset on the TC for about 10sec. until the front led flashes rapidly.
    Open the airport utility.. go to manual setup and change the wireless to off. (so other people around you cannot join your network of one).
    Ignore all the errors.. they won't stop the backup working.
    Go to the TM and reselect the backup target disk as the TC.
    It should start after 2min and run through to completion.
    That is it.. for a backup of many GB it might take a few hours.. so make sure the laptop has power plugged in and the sleep is off.. (on early ones I think this is needed but I am a late arrival to the scene).. sleep doesn't affect later OS.

  • Unable to change permissions when connecting over SMB

    As of OS 10.9, SMB2 is the default protocol when connecting two Macs running 10.9. Unfortunately, SMB2 seems to be half-baked at this time. Among the issues I've encountered, one of the more vexing ones is that it does not seem to be possible to change permissions on a remote file or directory over SMB. In Finder, the permissions section simply says "you have custom access" regardless of the file/folder's actual permissions. Even if I have full read/write access to the file/folder, I have no way to change its permissions.
    chmod and chown also don't work. They don't report an error – they simply don't do anything when I run them on remote files.
    If I connect to the same system via AFP, everything works fine and I can change permissions in Finder, and via chmod.
    Is anyone else seeing this behavior? Are permissions just broken under SMB2?

    So the background to this situation:
    1. The user had OS 10.6.8 installed on one volume, while his actual users home folders stored on a second volume, this is fine but can sometimes cause issues during/post upgrade to 10.7
    2. The user upgraded to 10.7 and while his home folders were still being accessed, he no longer had permission to change or modify them.
    3. The user downgraded to 10.6.4 again which broke the link for his users completely.
    4. In an attempt to change the permissions for his information he had the (common) mistake of changing the permissions of his root level of his drive, this did several things, in addition to negatively effecting his OS, it also locked the drive mount points in his (hidden) /Volumes/ folder.
    5. the steps taken to help rectify this issue:
    A. Open Terminal.
    B. TYPE:
    chmod -N /
    chmod 1775 /
    chown root:admin /
    C. Reboot computer
    D. Open Disk Utility.
    E. Repair permissions on the boot volume.
    F. Also the following commands were run on her second drive to allow him access to his stuff again:
    sudo chflags -R nouchg /path to drive/
    chmod -R 775 /path to drive/
    chmod -RN /path to drive/
    chown -R username:staff /path to drive/
    Once the permissions repair is complete the Users can be readded to the System Preferences>Accounts pane and the paths to home directories located in his second drive using the "Advanced Options..." section, but due to the time the permissions repair was going to take this step will be posted tomorrow.
    Also each user will require Terminal commands to make the permissions unique for each user: (this must be done PRIOR to the users being added in System Preferences>Accounts.
    chmod -N /
    chmod 1775 /
    chown root:admin /
    sudo chflags -R nouchg /path to home folder/
    sudo chmod -R 775 /path to home folder/
    sudo chmod -RN /path to home folder/
    sudo chown -R username:staff /path to home folder/

  • "Custom Access" permissions are locking me out of my own computer!

    "Custom Access" permissions are locking me out of my own computer!
    I have a Mac Book Pro which I can no longer access, due, I believe, to a problem with disk and file permissions. When I attempt to open up the volume, which I am able to put in FireWire target mode and mount on the desktop of a nearby iMac G5, I get an error message saying: "The folder 'MacBook Pro' could not be opened because you do not have sufficient access privileges."
    When I select the 'MacBook Pro' volume and run the Get Info command, I learn that the system, admin, and everyone else groups now have "custom access." I suppose that this newly acquired "custom access" is the reason that the volume icon now appears on the desktop with a lock at its lower left corner! Unfortunately, that lock is keeping me out, so I need help in finding the key back in!
    How all this came about overnight is a mystery wrapped in a enigma similar to my getting pneumonia last summer. Coming down with both diseases would require telling long stories that would only have as their common objective the desire to be cured. I might have gotten the pneumonia at my college reunion; my laptop computer might have caught a cold last night when I ran TechTool Pro and optimized my volume prior to installing its eDrive today. Or, my laptop computer may have choked when I tried to add Disk Warrior to the TechTool Pro eDrive and inadvertently issued some command that resulted in my normal permission settings getting changed and rendering everything on the computer completely inaccessible to me. Who knows for sure? Right now, the cause doesn't matter: finding the solution does.
    I used TechTool Pro to run a series of tests before (and after) I got locked out of my own computer and the volume passed all the tests for volume integrity and file integrity. TechTool also rebuilt the directory, defragged all the files, and optimized the hard drive into one, large, well-organized segment of files --that I unfortunately can no longer access!
    *What I think I need now are some very explicit, error-free, Terminal (UNIX) instructions telling me how to change the permissions on an external FireWire volume called "MacBook Pro" containing Leopard Mac OS X 10.5.7 from its current custom access privileges back to my settings before my poor computer caught this disabling cold.*
    I do have a SuperDuper clone of this MacBook Pro computer on an external FireWire, which I could probably use to relieve me of my pain. But, if at all possible, I would like to call upon that option only as a last resort for two reasons:
    (1) I am not entirely comfortable that the clone is completely reliable at this moment. My last cloning operation last night (before this corrupted permissions problem occurred) did not complete itself, leaving the cloned volume in an unknown, or unstable, state. (2) I would like to use this problem as an opportunity to grow and learn more about the Terminal and UNIX commands.
    I have read the relevant sections in David Pogue's missing manual on Mac OS X Leopard, so I am familiar (in theory) with the concepts he explained regarding ownership, file permissions, the root, Terminal, the CHMOD command, and the SUDO command. It's just that, considering the awesome power of the SuperUser Do command, I'm not all that confident yet that I could write the command(s) that could affect the state of my entire computer hard drive. So, *I'm asking for guidance from a UNIX guru to guide my hand this first time out.*
    I know about the idea of safe booting up as a single user, but since I do have my laptop computer mounted on the desktop of my iMac as a Firewire volume, I would prefer to use Terminal on the iMac to fix the permissions on that mounted volume, called "MacBook Pro".
    *Experts only, please*. Theories about what might have caused this problem would be nice, but what I really need is explicit command line code to cure this one. Since other people may occasionally encounter this problem of being locked out of their own computer, it would be fine with me if some knowledgeable guru wants to use this as a springboard to write a detailed tutorial on the topic along the way to the solution. Thanks.

    {I read that article you sent me to, Baltwo, but it does not seem appropriate, because the disk is not invisible. It's locked! I also went through all the discussions on flag changing you directed to me to look up, and I tried to apply something from there to my situation. But that's not working for me yet either. The topics there seem to be close enough to be relevant to my case, but none are exactly on the mark, and so far they deliver no cigar. Maybe I missed the one thread you had in mind from among the twenty I looked through: I can't be sure. You point it out, if you have one in mind. Anyway, in the absence of anyone providing me with specific Unix code or suggestions about my particular situation, I plunged ahead on my own, and I attempted to write some Unix code that might fix my problem. So far, I've had no success. This posting intersperses my comments along with the lines of Unix code which were displayed on my MacBook Pro during my recent attempts to tinker under the hood. My remarks are contained inside of curly brackets like { and } while the results of my Unix experimenting in Single User Mode on the laptop are presented without curly brackets. These were initially notes to myself, so I'm creating a post around my Unix dabbling to see if it triggers any feedback, corrections, and guidance for moving ahead. I'm stuck right now.}

    {So, to summarize, I have a MacBook Pro which I am apparently locked out of and cannot change. The hard disk is not invisible: it will appear as an external drive when placed in Target Mode and connected via a Firewire cable to an iMac. I tried to use Terminal on that iMac to change permissions on the MacBook Pro, but permission was denied.
    {So, I have tried to make changes on the MacBook Pro directly. I learned that it will neither start-up under normal circumstances nor via Safe Boot mode. It will, however, start-up under Single User mode. Based on my bleary-eyed crash course in Unix throughout all of last night and early this morning, I did gain some additional understanding about UNIX from some [free online books|http://www.scribd.com/doc/12747795/Made-Easy-Unix-for-Beginners] and articles, especially from a thorough and lucidly written article at Indiana University called [In Unix, how do I change the permissions for a file?|http://kb.iu.edu/data/data/abdb.html]
    {Also, I followed the links to the Apple discussions on user flags, and I cherry picked the most appropriate solutions suggested there to see if they will apply to my situation. However, none quite fit. None have thus far succeeded. I think I now know how to formulate the syntax of Unix commands in regards to modifying permissions, and I'm willing to plow ahead and try things out. But I'm only a rank beginner in this Unix realm, so maybe I'm doing something wrong in that department.
    {It just boggles my mind that someone can inadvertently be locked out of their computer without a way back in, so all I'm asking for is some trouble-shooting guidance to find the key back in. Anyone got it? Is this a problem that can be cured by writing some Unix commands to the system? Or, does the solution lie elsewhere?}

  • Unable to change permissions on Hard Disk Drives after rolling back OSX Lion to Snow Leopard

    Are you able to help me?
    I had several problems with permissions and a series of other serious issues after upgrading to Lion, so I did a clean re-install of Snow Leopard 6.4 (from disk), upgraded to 6.8 and still had permissions problems which I have made worse by doing what I thought made sense - giving my administration user access to all hard disks and time machine back-ups. I emphasise "hard disks" because I have an iMac 27" i7 and 250GB Flash Drive provided by Apple where I keep OSX and aplication files.  Thus the Flash Drive (FD) becomes the boot disk, not the Hard Drive.
    Changing preferences on the Apple HD (not FD) and the Time Machine Backup HD to my user name (with administration privaleges) has had the reverse effect of not giving me access to anything other than my OSX system volume on my 250GB Flash drive!  I can only see my files on the hard drives with the root user (which I have used for the first time ever to get that access).  But using the root user does NOT allow me to change permissions of either my Time Machine backup disk or the Hard drive on my iMac !  Why oh why??
    Googling for solutions suggested using iRepair to change permissions but that gives me a "boing" when I try with no effect - at least a "boing" is more feedback that the Apple Finder's response to my attempt to alter permissions in the "info" window!
    Oh! and of course I have unsuccessfuly tried the Disk Utility as well, which does come back with errors - that appear to be "safe to ignore" from Apple Support's website!
    I originally posted a slightly different message to this one to  https://discussions.apple.com/message/16955471#16955471 because it appeared to have similar issues. It appears as if my problem is unfortunately quite unique!

  • Leopard Not Seeing Correct Permissions on Files on Leopard Server

    File on OS X 10.4 server has the following permissions:
    owner abc read & write
    group abc read & write
    everyone read only
    If I connect to the server via AFP from a client running OS X 10.4 with user xyz that's in group abc, that client shows these permissions correctly (via Finder get info).
    If I connect to the server via AFP from a client running OS X 10.5 with user xyz that's in group abc, the client shows the following permissions (via Finder get info):
    You have custom access
    (unknown) read & Write
    staff read only
    everyone read only
    If I disable ACLs on the OS X 10.5 client (fsaclctl -d), it shows the same permissions as the OS X 10.4 client.
    I verified that the file on the server does not have an ACLs attached.
    Any suggestions as to why this is happening? Thanks!

    Hi - for anyone to help you, you'll need to tell us:
    • what version of system software is your server running?
    • You say you have to change permissions - is this when you try to upload? Is this when you try to open the file on the laptop - or when you try to open the file on the server itself?

  • ESS Business Packages Migration from Ehp3 to Ehp4 with Custom Changes

    Hello All,
    We are using ECC 6.0 With Ehp3 and We have the following versions of ESS and MSS Business Packages Installed.
    SAP_ESS 603 SP4
    SAP_MSS 600 SP15
    We have NWDI server also installed in this and made some Customizations in ESS Webdynpro Java based applications.
    We have freshly installed  a new portal development server with Netweaver 7.0 Ehp1 to cleanup unneccessary stuffs in our existing development portal server and pointed to the upgraded backend ECC 6.0 Ehp4.
    The NWDI also installed freshly in the new server.
    While upgrading,  following Business Packages versions are recommended by SAP.
    SAP_ESS 603 SP6
    MSS 600 SP17
    PCUI_GP 603 Sp 06
    Now in the New portal server every applications works fine as delivered Out of the box and we are missing all the Webdynpro Java customizations which we have made as part of the Ehp3 based ESS Implementation.   
    We are in the process of Creating the New track in the New NW 7.0 Ehp1 server and import the .SCA files.
    My Question is how can we get the automatic migration process, so that the Webdynpro Java Customizations which we have done in the Previous track in Ehp3 with different ESS SP level can be carry forwarded to our New NWDI Server.
    How can we go ahead?. We are thinking of the following options and your suggestions are highly appreciated.
    1. Import the .SCA files related to Ehp4 and do the Webdynpro Java changes manually again in the DCs of Newly created  track    in the New NWDI server.
    2. Is there a way to migrate a Track from One Server to another NWDI server with the Custom changes carry forwarded.
    What are all the possible ways to achieve track migration to the new server with custom changes carry forwarded.   
    Appreciate your valuable inputs in this.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Two WP themes in Dwvr -root level index.php issues

    If someone could point me in the right direction. I had been editing a wordpress theme based on Brian Wood's tutorial. Now I set up a new Dwvr site and want to edit a different theme, but the root- level index.php and the theme level index.php or that custom home.php still reflect the old theme when I try to view it at //localhost. I have WordPress installed in my root-level folder. Do I need to change the file structure, or is this a database configuration issue? Thank you.

    I understand child themes as an extention of a stylesheet. It's the div structure, and the ability to manipulate divs that just isn't clear in WordPress. If I'm not mistaken, it seems that templates are more or less includes, and that there is overlap between them, and the div architecture throughout the entire theme. The tutorial link from Nancy is newer to me, in terms of applying thematics, I'll have to look at it in greater detail some other time. Is the tutorial: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_wordpress_pt1.html just very outdated? I like doing things in Dreamweaver, if I can, just for fun.
    Update: So a child theme can manipulate the structure of a theme, but generally within the limitations of that theme. For example, the twenty-twelve theme allows for a number of columns, which I can manipulate based on my choice, and the child theme. I am guessing it would be ludicrous to do something completely different from the general structure of that theme though. In that case I would look for a theme similar to what my end goal is, or then I would have to be an expert. Still wondering about that Adobe tut. though.

  • Website paths showing root level log in via ssh and not the specific spot?

    Hello, I have three sites on 10.5 server. Most of it in house use but when logging in or mounting for example archive.ota.com via terminal it brings you to the root level / of my server. The webfolder is set on my raid array for example /Volumes/website1/archive where I would hope it would bring you as home directory? The specific user set up has that as the home directory but still mounts higher up? Is this a permissions thing? Home directory maybe? Not sure what I am missing. I am rusty on this I admit. Thanks

    I was having the same issue with Eclipse. If I launched an xterm and then ran eclipse it worked fine but as a published application, it would die after showing the Eclipse splash screen for a second. Adding the ampersand to the end of the launch command fixed it. Strange.
    Thanks for following up your post with the fix. I don't think backgrounding the process from the SGD launcher would have ever occurred to me.

  • Team Foundation Administrators Cannot Change Permissions

    Using TFS 2012 Update 2
    I am in the Team Foundation Administrators group. I am trying clean this group up and remove some users. The Console lets me do that but when I click OK I get an error popup stating my windows account " Needs the following permissions: Edit collection
    level information"
    First off I thought TFAdmin could do anything, anywhere.  Apparently not, so I have looked at the Project Collections security setup and TFAdmin is a member of Project Collection Admins and that group has the permission. I thought permissions got inherited?
    And to follow with a general question, if the TFAdmins group can do anything, why does it need to be in any other group?
    Thanks.....

    Hi Remarkm,  
    Thanks for your post.
    Yes, there’s the Edit collection-level information permission in
    Project Collection Administrators group, but this administrator group cannot be modified and this
    Edit collection-level information permission set to allow in this group by default. 
    Except the Edit collection-level information permission in collection level groups, this permission also can be configured in TFS Server level groups, in your TFS Admin Console>>Application Tier>>Administer Security, select the
    Team Foundation Administrators group, ensure the Edit collection-level information permission not be denied in this group.
    If this Edit collection-level information permission set to Allow in your
    Team Foundation Administrators group, but you still receive that “Needs Edit collection level information” error, please execute the command
    tfssecurity /imx “username” /collection:url to check your account belong to which groups, then check
    Edit collection-level information permission in that groups, ensure this permission not be denied in that groups. 
    Why the Team Foundation Administrators group be added in
    Project Collection Administrators group by default? Because not all TFS permissions be defined in TFS Server group, you will find there’s Administer Warehouse, User full Web Access features and other collection level permissions be defined in TFS Server
    group’s Security. But other team project related permissions all defined in collection level groups, and you will find that permissions(workspace, team project, build etc) in your collection admin page. So the
    Team Foundation Administrators group be added in Project Collection Administrators group by default, and the permissions settings in this in
    Project Collection Administrators group cannot be modified, then all the users in
    Team Foundation Administrators group will have the permissions which configured in both
     Team Foundation Administrators group and
    Project Collection Administrators group.
