Different permissions on separate Airdisk volumes

Hi there. I have a Drobo connected to an 802.11n Airport Extreme which acts as a Media Server. I'm in the process of ripping CDs and DVDs to it and want to try and make the files as secure as possible.
I have set up the Drobo with two volumes. One 'Shared' volume, which I would like everyone to have read/write access to (our iTunes library is stored on here and won't work on a read only volume). I have also set up a 'Media Server' volume, which I would like to have as Read Only (except for myself), to make sure movies don't get accidentally deleted. I'm using Plex Media Server to view the files.
I can only get the security settings in the Airport Utility to apply the same password to both volumes. Is there a way to set up custom access to each volume?
Thanks for your assistance.

Pure-ftpd - different permissions for virtual users?

I seem not to be able to find out how I could declare different permissions for different virtual users. In /etc/pure-ftpd.conf exists one line to declare permissions using
#umask file:folder
umask 133:133
umask matches the numbers to 'UserGroupOthers'.
Now that virtual ftp users belong to a real existing unix user / group, I wonder who is Users, Group and Others?
Users = virtual ftp user ?
Group = virtual ftp group ?
Others = anonymous visitors?
How can I tune it, so one virtual user can add files - f.e. to be used by a scan station - while others shall only read, having anonymous disabled?
This gives me a headache.

Ok, let me think. What did I do?
I had different users. User X, Y and Z.
Then, I had a shared directory above their home directories.
While in the system, (not in pure-ftpd) I symlinked.
(Note that doing something in user X's directory, like ln -s ../shared didn't work---I had to do ln -s /usr/home/ftpuser/shared).
Then, I ~think I played with the permissions on shared and got what I wanted.
Then, after a few hours on this, they changed their minds about what they wanted, everyone was allowed to use shared, but different companies had to have their own directories, so I no longer have that config.
For what it's worth, you can take a quick look at my page
http://www.scottro.net/qnd/qnd-pureftpd.html
but I don't think it covers that situation.
HTH, though I doubt that it did.

Unrepairable "different" Permissions After Updating iTunes

Hello -
First, I need to confess that I am not an Apple computer guru. However, up until today, I've never experienced any major problems with either of my two Mac computers.
Ugh. . .
I updated both the iTunes and Front Row programs on my MacBook Pro today. I did what I usually do after performing any major update or upgrade, I repair the permissions via the Disk Utility program. This utility almost always repairs any of the changes that may have occurred during the updating/upgrading process. It did not work this time, unfortunately.
I am unable to repair the dozen or so differing permissions that the Disk Utility tells me exists. I click the "Repair Disk Permissions" and when it's finished it tells me, "Permissions repair complete". I, then, click "Verify Disk Permissions" and receive the same messages as before; that there are many differing permissions.
So. . . here are my questions:
1) Will this apparent problem of differing permissions effect the overall performance and stability of my computer in any way? (I use the MacBook Pro mainly as a slave computer for instrumental software plug-ins for sequencing projects.) (By the way. . . "So far, so good". I haven't noticed any problems, YET, when loading up my Kontakt 2 and Kontakt 2 Player instrumental software programs.)
2) Will this apparent problem leave my MacBook Pro vulnerable to future problems (like future program updates, computer viruses, etc)?
3) Is there any way to fix this apparent problem??
Thankfully, I did NOT upgrade the iTunes on the larger MacPro computer which houses main audio and video editing software programs. In fact, I very rarely use the iTunes program. The only reason I keep it on the MacBook Pro is because my wife owns an iPod device. But she keeps her iPod hooked up to her aging yet dependable Dell laptop computer. (I don't think she even updated her Windows version of iTunes yet! LOL!) Silly, silly me for updating a program I don't even use. Now, I humbly wish to fix this problem before it get worse. I use the MacBook Pro all the time for my music-sequencing projects (as a slave computer to my MacPro).
Thank you in advance. . .
Embarrassed. . . . and GRATEFUL for any solutions to this apparent problem. . .

Permissions issues on backup volume

I just finished a complete reformat and reinstall of 10.3 with the intent to just restore certain data from TM. I ended up creating trouble for myself by creating my new user account with a different name than the old one. While I could retrieve data through TM it wasn't optimal since the previous user didn't exist on the drive.
I created a new account with the same name as the TM backup and most things are fine, but... certain folders throughout the backup (Desktop, Library, and the like) seem to have set their permissions to the now deleted account - which means I can't read them from TM. I'm able to change the permissions on a file by file basis in the finder, but would love to be able to propagate these changes across all instances of the folders in the backup volume. Anybody have any ideas?

Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, copy the blue text in, and press enter.
You'll be asked for your admin password, which you won't see.
sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
That will change the owner of ALL files in your home directory to you. (Which is how it should be)
The get info pane in Leopard is buggy for changing permissions.
To fix any damage it caused, use these steps:
1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal from the affected account.
IMPORTANT NOTE: copy the blue text in. Don't attempt to retype it, as a mistake could cause more issues.
2. Copy the blue text in, and press enter. chmod -R -N ~
That command removes all ACL entries from your home folder. The next commands put them back where they should be.
3. (Press enter after copying and pasting this command in). chmod +a "everyone deny delete" ~/ ~/Desktop ~/Documents ~/Downloads ~/Library ~/Movies ~/Music ~/Pictures ~/Public ~/Sites
4. (Press enter after copying and pasting this command in). chmod +a "`id -un` allow list,addfile,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextattr, writeextattr,readsecurity,writesecurity,chown,file_inherit,directoryinherit" ~/Public/Drop\ Box
After running those commands, your home folder permissions should be fine. (NOTE: You may get a response:
chmod: Failed to clear ACL on file Commands: Invalid argument
chmod: Failed to clear ACL on file Notification: Invalid argument
That is safe to ignore. The rest of the commands will still work fine.)
In future, do NOT use the "Apply to enclosed items" option in the get info window.
Good luck!

How to gain different permissions than the user's current logon provides?

I have a computer on a local network which contains a shared folder, and I've granted reading permissions for all users.
How can I grant a certain Java application, or gain from a certain application, which a user running on a different computer, permission to write to that folder without granting this user the permission?
Basically I need to create a situation when the other users can add files to the folder only through my Java application.
Thanks.

You are right i wouldn't like to change owner. But I would like the program to be able identify itself as a different user who has writing privileges, or something of that sort, in order for it to have permissions. Something similar to the 'runas' command in windows.

New thin aluminum keyboard has different locations for eject and volume

in fact I can not find a control for volume. the brightness is listed for F1 and F2 but in fact is f14 and 15, eject is both f12 and the eject button and the listed f10-12 for volume don't work on my tiger equipped G4. My previous keyboard died and it worked fine.

Install the keyboard update

Permissions issues with multiple volumes

I'm currently running one boot volume with Snow Leopard and one with Mountain Lion on my Mac Pro. Due to current software compatibility-related issues, I need to be able to use both volumes regularly as part of my workflow for now, though I plan to transition fully to 10.8 in the next couple months. Right now, I'm running into a permissions issue that is impeding my workflow. When I first set up the 10.8 volume, I had access to all the folders in my main user account on the 10.6 volume. However, yesterday I used the process described in the link below to change name of my home folder, which includes creating a new user account. With this new user account, I find that I do not have access to user content on my 10.6 volume.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1428
I know how to change permissions in the "Get Info" window, but I'm wondering if there's a way to globally give this account the same permissions the original one had. (Actually, I thought that was what the process in that support article was supposed to do, so perhaps I've done something wrong...) As it is right now, if I've granted myself read and write permissions to the Documents folder, but those permissions seem to have "cascaded" inconsistently--some files and folders are still blocked, others are accessible. Can anyone help me out with this? For now, I'm just going to copy the files I need over, but I need a better solution.

Anyone have any ideas?

Multiple groups with different permissions on a sharepoint

Let me start by saying that I am fiarly new to OS X Server. In my school district we are running server 10.3.3, and I am having one heck of a time trying to figure out how to give access to a sharepoint to more than one group, and give them different access ie: the students have the ability to read what is in the folder, but the teachers can put things in there or make changes to the items in there, the main reason we are trying to get this done is for our accounting department. The ladies in the accounting office need to share some documents with the office managers at the different schools, but don't want them accidentally changing them, and we don't want anyone/everyone to be able to access them.
If there are any free updates available that can fix this I would be willing to download them, but I don't think we have the money to upgrade to 10.4 server.

As you surmised, all the tools to make this easy are in 10.4 (ACLs, nested groups etc...)
Since you need a solution that works with 10.3.3, Id try the following:
A = accounting office users
B = office mangers
C = all users in A + all users in B
Folder 1 is the folder of shared documents.
Volume 1 is the sharepoint containing Folder 1
in WGM
share Volume 1, with Owner: root R/W Group: C R/W Everyone: none
Set the privs on Folder 1 to Owner: root R/W Group: A R/W Everyone: R
This allows members of group C to mount the volume , but only the accounting folks (A) can write to the files in Folder 1. All other users (the folks in group B) will only have read access to folder 1. The public at large won't be able to mount the volume in the first place.
Hope this makes sense

Granting different permissions to different codebases : policy file problem

Hi all. I'm having a bit of a problem with policy files and granting different persmissions to different codebases. What I have at the moment is a server app that copies a class file from the client to a specified directory on the server, and then dynamically loads and runs that class. This all works fine, but obviously as user submitted code is going to be run on the server I want to restrict what they are allowed to do. My app is going to be bundled up in a single jar file, and the directory that the client code is being copied to a subdirectory of the app installtion (not that this should make much difference). What i want to do is grant all permissions to my code in the jar file and resrict the permssions granted to code in the strategies directory. I assumed i would just be able to do this using my own policy file, but at the moment i'm not having much luck.
Directory structure:
c:/project/code/
|
|-labyrinth.jar
|-strategies/
Contents of labyrinth.policy:
grant codeBase "file:../code/labyrinth.jar" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
Command line arguments:
java -Djava.security.manager -Djava.security.policy==./labyrinth.policy -classpath .;./labyrinth.jar;./strategies/;%CLASSPATH%; labyrinth.LabyrinthServer
I've tried specifiying the absolute path to the jar file in the policy file as well as the relative path, i've tried including -Xbootclasspath/a and appending the jar file. All I seem to be able to manage though is either granting all permissions system wide, including the strategies dir, or none and getting security exceptions within my code. Anyone tried doing anything similair or got any idea where I might be going wrong? Any help would be appreciated as its really starting to doing my head in.
TIA. Matt.

Did you try putting a slash at the beginning of your "file" specification? e.g., instead of saying
grant codeBase "file:../code/labyrinth.jar" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
say
grant codeBase "file:/../code/labyrinth.jar" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
Hope this helps.

Installed programs have different permissions than package

I am using testing, so I installed the new kernel and nvidia driver today. The directories in the kernel and nvidia packages are all 755. However, when the package was installed and the new directories were created, the permissions were 2755. This isn't a problem, but something is happening to cause the kernel to be installed with different folder permissions than are in the package.
The kernel is the only package I am having this issue with.
Edit:
This only happened on one of my computers, and if I try to correct the permissions with chmod, nothing happens and the permissions remain the same...

This happens to me on my workstation. Every PKG I install have that permission warning message, but my stuff still works... don't really care. Perhaps the dev can look into it when they have time.

AAA Different Permissions again

In a previous post I asked how I could assign RO permissions when a user connects to a firewall, but RW access when they connect to a switch, I was given a Cisco Kb to follow but this only allows the user to be in a RO or RW group.. I need the same user "Joe Blogs" RO access for one device and RW for another.

This can be done by creating two NDG's and map them with respective command authorization set under the same user account.
Creating NDG's
NDG1 for ASA ---add ASA as a aaa client
NDG2 for switch---add switch as aaa client.
Creating command authorization set
Create two different command authorization set under shared profile component for
Switch = permit all
ASA = Deny all
and permit show only
Now, under the user account you need to map the NDG with appropriate command authorization set. When user tries to login to switch/ASA it will check the authorization set mapped with their NDG's

Running two different tests on separate monitors

Can I run two different labview executables from one PC on separate monitors
simultaneously? I have a 2 station test facility which I would like to use 1 PC and 2 touchscreen monitors so the 2 operators ccan run different tests on each station simultaneously.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As long as you are careful about not using the same resources (files, DAQ devices, etc), you can have as many executables running as you want.

Separate notification volume setting for each account

How to separately set volume for each and every account email, text, bbm, whats app, etc. This feature would be a welcome relief so that I can customise if I want certain account to be more louder than the other. Also being able to separately set volume or at least mute a particular group in what's app.

You should not be able to see each other's stuff.
Do you store things directly inside the Home folder or have you made folders directly inside the home folder? Because of the necessary permissions on the home folder to allow others to see the public folder and Sites folder, everyone can see inside the home folder. In those cases, spotlight would index those items.
If you want to keep using the folders and files where they sit, you can change the permissions on the folders using the Terminal:chmod 0700 and then drag the folder to the Terminal window. You can drag multiple folders. Files would need 0600 for the permissions.
Don't change the home folder permissions and don't use the Finder's "Apply to Enclosed." You will just cause a multitude of other problems.
If this is not the case, then we need to check the permissions on your home folder and it's subfolders. Run this command and copy/paste the results here.ls -leO ~/If you want to hide your username for whatever reason, feel free to change it before posting.

Headphones sound different on two separate devices

When I plug one set of Apple supplied headphones into ipod classic and ipodh(small sq. one with clip) the volume control is totally different. The ipod classic has to turn volume all the way up to barely hear it. Could the headphones be wearing out?

Perhaps you have see the volume limit on the classic. Failing that it could be an issue with the headphone socket. If the headphones work OK on one device and not another, then I wouldn't look to a problem with the headphones...
