DSCL issues: /Groups/admin problem

Hello,
As I recently reinstalled OS X, there was a temporary user and, even though it's been deleted, it left some traces behind. I looked online how to erase all traces of deleted users and found a nice tutorial which made me delete /Groups/admin because the user was in that group (OS X default)
Not so much fun, really... the tutorial could use some cleanup, unless it was there on purpose
Other groups that were deleted include _pladmin. Basically any group which an Administrator is part of.
Now, here's my question:
Is there a way to clean up and/or restore the system's user listings? So that the /Groups/admin and other groups are restored to their defaults. I tried to restore them by manual input, but the system still has a bunch of hick-ups, which cause iTunes not to open, etc.
Any ideas and suggestions are welcome. Tech talk is fine, I'm a programmer

Thanks, that did it!
It wasn't my fault, really. The tutorial just said to do various things to get rid of users and I wanted a clean setup. But I should've studied the manpages more carefully. Now I know how to roll DSCL, so the issue won't repeat itself

  • BOSD, Battery issues and Heating problem after iOS 8 upgrade

    i have upgraded my iPad mini to iOS 8. Ever since I upgraded to iOS 8 am facing blue screen issues and heating problem as well. This is really frustrating even the patch iOS 8.0.2 dint solve the problem. Are you guys listening our complaints. When will you fixing it.

    The same thing happened to me on my 2012 Subaru Outback.  I'm not sure this will help you since you have a Honda, but I'm posting this just in case.
    I paired the audio on my car with my iPhone 6.  However, when I turned the car off and back on again, the iPhone would not pair automatically.  I had to manually connect the iPhone with the car.  Turns out there are two separate bluetooth pairings on my car: one for phone which allows up to 5 devices and one for audio which allows only one device.  So I did the second bluetooth pairing for the phone (had already done the audio), and that fixed it.  YMMV

  • BBM 5.0 Group Admin abilities lost after OS update

    Hi everyone,
    Just like what I've stated in the subject, I'm longer the group Admin in my BBM Group after updating my OS. I've gone through the "recovery" process to recover my BBM group, but after it was recovered, I realized that I'm no longer the Group Administrator.
    I've tried restoring my previous settings via Desktop Manager but that still didn't work either. What can I do to fix this? Thank you.

    I have to say that I'm not a fan of the new BBM. I don't use the group feature so any benefits that others may see are lost on me.  In fact, nothing that Shag points to outweighs the absolutely horrid way that pics are sent. Nothing against you Shag : ) . My wife sends me pictures all day of the kids.  Use to be they would just appear and I could look at them when I got around to it.  Now I have to accept and save each one at a time and the download is SLOW.  What a PAIN!!
    Not to mention that if I'm listening to Pandora when I go to view the picture, Pandora shuts off.  AND, on top of that, if I'm listening to Pandora on my head phones and she sends me a message, the regulur speaker turns on as the message is being transmitted which annoys me and the other folks in my area.
    Overall, this strikes me as the classic "It looks nicer so it MUST be better" kind of upgrade.  I'll be downgrading as soon as I can.

  • HELP:   Deleted the group "admin" through NetInfo Manager. HELP

    I deleted (by accident) the group "admin" through NetInfo Manager and don't know what do to now.
    I probably have the files necessary to restore but don't know which files!
    Or is there another way to recreate the group "admin" and then assign the users (only two out of 6) back into it?
    HELP HELP

    Dick,
    There are certainly methods of recreating the admin group in your current Netinfo Database, but I am of the opinion that it is usually simpler to just delete the Netinfo Database and re-create whatever accounts you currently have.
    Provided you know the exact order in which your existing accounts were created, this is easy to do. Follow these instructions:
    * Perform steps 1, 2, 4, and 5 in section III of this kbase article, making sure that you follow the instructions at the top of the article for correctly mounting your startup disk as read/write in single-user mode (step #1). Perform only the steps I have listed.
    * When you perform step #5, you will restart into the "Setup Assistant." Use the Setup Assistant to create a new "initial" admin account using the exact same username and user short name as the original "initial" admin account. You might be required to enter complete contact information for registration with Apple, but you may skip "Connecting to the Internet," "Sending Registration to Apple," etc. Skipping these steps will leave an alias for registering in your HOME folder, but this alias can be safely deleted once you are logged in (you are, after all, already registered with Apple). You may also use your current Apple ID to have all of this information filled in for you, but this requires that your machine be able to connect to the internet.
    * Once logged into your admin account, use System Preferences>Accounts to recreate any "secondary" accounts, again using the exact same username and user short name as the original accounts. Recreate these accounts in the exact order that they were created originally. In each case, you will be told that there is an existing HOME folder with the same short name, and that this HOME folder will be used for this new account. This is what you want.
    If you have questions about using this method for recovering from your current dilemma, just ask.

    My playlist has dissapeared from libraray itunes issue or windows problem?

    Hi,
    It's pointless to use that ammount of ram under Win9x/Me as it will be slower then if you use only 256MB witch is the optimal ammount for these OS'ses.
    So you better take 256 out or move to Win2000/XP....

  • Mail & Adress Book: issues sending group mail - Problem solved

    I started writing this discussion because I could not get something to work. As I wrote it, I made many tests to confirm what I was writing and also read several past discussions on the subject. I ended up solving my problem and decided to share my findings. Hope it is useful to other people.
    EMAIL TO A GROUP WITH ALL RECIEPIENTS SHOWING IN THE «TO» HEADER - My problem solved
    SENDING FROM THE MAIL APPLICATION:
    To start do the following:  Mail/Preferences/Composing  check «Show members of a group»
    Then for a group name with two or more words OR wit a one word group name, start writing the group name in the «TO» header of an email wait until the « () » appears highlithed in a color as you slowly write the Address Book group name and then select the group name from the scroling list appearing below which comes from your Adress Book (whether it's open or not). If you choose in a selection list before the « () » appears as you type, you could end up with an empty list and the group email does not work. When the « () » does not yet appear but the group name does below, it most likely will not work but if you scroll down you may find a second one that will.  The whole thing is wear but once you get the hang of it you make it work everytime.
    SENDING FROM THE ADDRESS BOOK APPLICATION:
    If you try to send the email to a group from the application ADRESS BOOK by pressing «ctrl» & right clicking the name of the group and select «Send an email to GROUP-NAME», it will work also. But the group name must not have a space before its name in the Address Book (one could decide to do this to have a group to appear at the top of a list of groups). The latter was my problem and sending from the address book application did not work.
    EMAIL TO A GROUP WITH «UNDISCLOSED RECIPIENTS» SHOWING IN THE «TO» HEADER  - My problem solved
    First one has to uncheck the «Show members of a group» in Mail/Preferences/Composing
    Second strat a new email and proceed as described above in «1.»  in the second and third paragraph.
    As suggested in one discussion, if you still can not get it to work try closing your Mail and Address Book applications and re-open them.
    As suggeted in another discussion by Ernie Stamper on May 15 2009 in the «Can't send an email to a group»:
    «In Mail Preferences/Composing, select to Show members of a group, and then compose a message (no need to send for this test) using the group address -- do the 9 addresses show in the message header? If so, then report the name of the provider of the SMTP you are using. It might be that they do not allow the Group in the To -- when working correctly, the recipient sees only Undesignated Recipients in the header.»

  • Shares-admin problem

    I have a problem with shares-admin application on Gnome. I've been install Samba through wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Samba), and install gnome-system-tools and nautilus-share package for easy share of my files. But Add and Unblock buttons of shares-admin don't be able to press. And on nautilus-share, "Share through" is disable to me.
    Any ideas about this issue? Thanks in advance.

    Have you found a solution to this? Or has anyone else got any idea of what might be causing this?
    I'm having the exact same problem. Shares-admin doesn't allow me to do anything (not even change the workgroup name) except for removing shared folders.
    I can share folders with no problems by editing the smb.conf file (and other computer are able to access them - so samba is working), but I can't do it from nautilus nor can I view the shared folders of other computers.
    It seems like this user has no access to samba... do I need to add this user to any group (it didn't use to be like this)?
    I know it used to work some time ago, but since I rarely share new folders I can't tell what update caused it to stop working.
